TWO WEEK FREAK PLUS FOUR DAYS!!!!
Hi guys-
sorry i've been a flake
its been a while...so i am sitting here freaking out alot...i mean alot. I really think I am going to die on March 20th. I told my husband I don't want to fight between now and then because i don't want to waste my last days with him.
seriously, this is bad....i need the surgery want the surgery but I keep thinking i am not going to wake up from the surgery.
My son has a field trip the day of the surgery and i thought to myself i won't be able to ask him how it went.
what are the new stats...also, any u of c people that can reassure me i'll be ok.
thanks guys

No. On the main board last week an OHr died from complications two days after her surgery. I looked at her info and saw she was married and i just started thinking on how her poor husband must feel and her whole family. I know I am an overthinker always have been. It does great in my field however really bad everywhere else.
I really appreciate you input thank you!

Are you asking what are the death rate stats?
I would touch base with your doctor about your fears and ask what the rate is for that practice. And yes you can ask that and you should be given a straight forward answer.
But if you want to know the national average it is 1 in 200 and that was a few years ago. But the numbers have gone down especially of the fact that people are in and out of the OR real fast now. The better majority of the surgeries are done lap as opposed to open which speeds up the OR time.

Take a pause, take a deep breath (or ten) and then let it gooooooooooooooooooooooo. You will be fine. I think most of us had a freak-out moment before surgery and more than once. I was even freaking as I was wheeled into the OR...but intellectually I knew I would be fine. I was fine for all my other surgeries (lapband, plastics 5 times, tonsils at 40). You will be too. Really. 
day of surgery - 296 current goal - 195 highest ('98) - est'd 320
You poor little thing. I know what you mean though. When I was pregnant with my son 30 yrs ago, my father died. It was one of those 4 lingering days in the hospital things. When I had my son, I was hospitalized and on bed rest. It caused so much anxiety that I had to have him early by C-section.
With my RNY I had none of that.
As far as overthinking I do that as well. The way your dealing with it is good except the thinking you won't be there for your son later.
OK, I'm now going to go into my preaching so if you don't want to don't read any more.
Listen girlfriend,
This fear is not of God, in God's word the bible, it says to fear not so many times it isn't even funny. There is an evil one out there who would have you be afraid to take control of your life and be the healthy thin person who is inside you trying despirately to kick this addiction to food any way you can. He wants you to be afraid and held captive by this for your long long life. You have to trust and know that there is a great God out there that has a plan for you, he knows his plan for you to be healthy and live a good long life for his purpose. OK, I'm done.
Do I think you should have all the facts ...absolutely, do I think you should live everyday as if you may not get another, yes, but do not be afraid, for fear can paralize you into bad decisions or no decisions at all.
I'm praying that you will no longer these feelings and that everything will be well for you in your spirit.
