Find out 2marrow
Hello everyone, I havent posted in a while but just a little update. Im have an appointment tommorow with my surgeon, to make sure all my blood work and phyisc is good. If all is good then i will being have my sugery on Monday, May 4th. Im kinda of neverous and scared at the same time, its all happening so fast. An hints on staying calm or relaxing any help would be great. THanks
First of all, congratulations!!!
Prior to surgery, focus on all that is positive. I even started a journal where I listed all the good things I would be looking forward to... sort of bouncing off the negative. Think of the things you dislike and want to change about yourself and put them in a positive light.... like: I hated wearing 2X-3X clothing so wrote "I looked forward to wearing size 10 clothes again and looking for clothes in the regular size departments."
I continued to read a LOT. It reinforced my belief that my surgery was THE was to rid myself of the weight and the ONLY way to accompli**** There are many good books out there. I have a list of the ones I read in my profile that were recommended by Dr. C.
Read all the brochures that Dr. C gives you so you have almost all of it memorized. It will be your way of life and it is all so informative and enlightening. Accept it and embrace it. Follow his directions.... after all, he's the one with all the experience and knowledge and that's why you selected him (and his staff) as your surgical team.
A positive attitude is what will help you through recovery and through your healing. I can't express this enough.
Have absolute faith in Dr. C. I don't usually say this because there are many excellent surgeons, but... he is one of THE BEST surgeons, if not THE best. You are in the finest and most skilled hands. He will control your pain so you will only have discomfort for a very short time. I was never in any pain and took very little pain medication. I never hit my morphine line while in the hospital and never opened my liquid pain meds while recovering at the hotel. (I had to stay in SF for a week following my surgery.)
You will be so happy... a new life awaits you. Be excited and get rid of the negativity. The alternatives for NOT having the surgery are what you should be nervous and scared of.
