Getting nervous -

First time posting here, my surgery is Tuesday Dec. 14. I have waited a long, long time and am excited but the reality of this all happening in a couple of days is causing me to be very nervous. Let's just do it already :-)

oh yes !! my surgery is on wensday.. im so scared now, all freaked out. I just cant stop thinking about my boys and my husband and what could happen to me. I know it will all be okay, God will be with us.. good luck to you. hugs !

Wishing the best of everything to you both.

My RNY is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 20th.  Am I scared....sure.   Am I nervous....you betcha.   Do I try to think of how much healthier and better my life will be after my operation....absolutely.  Right now I seek comfort in a lot of people praying for me.  I will for you both as well.  It is SO natural for us to be scared and nervous.  I can't wait till they give me something to calm my nerves once I reach the hospital.  I'm sure all the negative things I have thought about, you both have as well.  BUT, I can't dwell on the negative or else I would make myself a real basket case.  I am putting my faith in God to pull me through this.  I'm almost 65 years old and I want to live a much longer and healthier life.  More than likely, you both are much younger than I am.

Let's think about the positive and focus on that.  We're not getting better or less nervous when we focus on the negative of what IFs.  So, let's make a pack to think good thoughts and pray that God will ease our nerves and calm our fears.  My favorite Bible verse has always been, "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you." IPeter 5:7.  I will hold on to that verse as it gives me hope and strength.

Before we know it, all 3 of us will be on the "Loser's Bench"....ya hoooooo!  :)

Thank you so much for those encouragin words, it ment so much to me, now that I'm in my first day of clear liquids. I feel so hungry, but besides that, I know that I will be okay. God is with me :)

Hi,

Just checking in on you!  How are you doing?

Merry Christmas!

Dont worry. You'll be so happy with your results.  I have my surgery on Thursday 12/16. Stay motivated! You will be fine. God has already brought you this far.

Hi!

I hope everything went well for you!  I had my surgery on 12/11 and admittedly I had a few rough days, but now I'm a TON better (pun intended) and back to work.  Every day is a little better and I'm completely off pain meds... even Tylenol!

We can do this!!
