Surgery 8 days away!!!!!!

Went today for all my pre-op testing and got my instructions for the day before surgery. I need to be on clear liquid diet and between 1 and 2PM I have to drink one bottle (8oz) of magnesium citrate. That should be a whole lot of fun. Better not go far from home if you all know what I mean. My surgery is at Methodist Germantown in Memphis, Tn. I just cannot believe that it is finally here. I have so many mixed emotions and every once in awhile I think about that 1 in 200 who don't make it and I get alittle scared. I know that I am doing the right thing because I have a lot of co-morbidities and this is my last chance for a quality life. I would appreciate if everyone *****ads this would say a little prayer for me. I would very much appreciate it and I will be sure to keep all of you in my prayers. I know I'm doing the right thing and I am very confident in my surgeon and I know GOD will be watching over me. My work here on earth is not over with. Thank You

Hi , I just posted how my surgery is 7 days away and I did all my pre-op testing also.I also stated I feel over all calm I don't know if it's because I have peace with my decision or peace with my surgeon or maybe both.I do know my surgeon has 1 in every 2,000 yes 2,000 so that in it's self puts me at ease with my decision.I will say a prayer for both of us.I will see you on the losing side.Take care.

OK MS Frances, God is on your side. He will guide your surgeons hands and guess who is also by your side. Well I can tell that big man above is there with you, so relax and get ready new beginning of "the rests of your life". Go and get all those wonderful groceries and one of the things I'm going to buy is new little plates and small dessert cups. Its my little goody to begin my new Life. My prayers are with you and calm down its going to be ok. TT

Frances, My surgery is also on 12-28-04. I am very much at peace with it. God has called me to serve him and I know that he wouldn't call me if he weren't going to let me get through this. Believe that HE is in control. You will be fine. I have already prayed for you. GodBless! Shannon
