Surgery on Monday!
Hey ya'll!
I'm a lurker, but since my surgery is rapidly approaching, I thought I'd post. I'm having Lap RNY Monday at DeKalb Medical Center with Dr. Scott Steinberg. Anyone else have him?
I'm really excited and so thankful to finally have approval (after two years of trying) and ready to go, but now I'm starting to get nervous! I'm not second-guessing the surgery, I'm just worried that I'm going to die! Haha. Logically, I think that's not very likely, but it is a possibility and I want to live!
I'm trying not to let my fear control me, but I am having trouble sleeping and just having anxiety and worrying. I will be so relieved a month from now.
Anyway, nice to meet you all!
I'm Jennifer, 31, female, married, live in Atlanta. I'm 5'7" and weigh 298, down from a high weight of 313. 5 days til surgery!

Good luck with your surgery! Everyone gets nervous beforehand. If you don't want to deal with the nerves or they are interrupting your life, call your doctor and ask for an anti-anxiety prescription. I had Ativan a month before surgery and took as needed. It really helped.
Wishing you fast healing and a smooth surgery!

Across the United States, in 2006, twice as many people died from lack of health insurance as died from homicide.
