Emotions running wild!
This is the last week I have before my surgery so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row. Tomorrow morning we leave to go get my pre-op testing done. Thats not till Tuesday morning but we are spending some time with my hubby's family because we didnt get to at Christmas time. They live about 45 minutes away from the hospital so we figured seeing as the appointment is at 8am and we have almost a 4 hour drive to get there it would make sense to go the day before. So that pretty much takes care of Monday and Tuesday. Then it will be back home and getting the house cleaned from top to bottom and preparing my stuff for surgery day. Next Monday we do the drive all over again and stay in a hotel over night and then surgery on Tuesday
I just sat down and wrote out letters to my family just incase anything happens to me with the surgery. I wanted to leave them something and make sure they all knew I was at peace with my decision to have the surgery and how much I love them. I guess until I started writing them I didn't realize just how hard it was going to be. Especially the ones to my kids and my hubby. I know this is probably normal what I am going through but OMG is it ever hard. I also know I am not making a mistake by having the surgery but the mind sure has a way of trying to confuse you about your decisions.
Anyway, thanks for letting me share my thoughts. ....Brooke, Terry and Jeff I hope you are all doing well and recovering nicely from your surgery. I'll be joining you on the loser side soon!...I hope everyone else is also doing well. Have a good week! I'll post again when I get back Tuesday night.
~hugs~

Hey Konni!
I don't know if you'll get this ... just wanted to let you know I'll be thinking about you! While what you're going through is typical of people before surgery, they're still your emotions and are not to be downplayed in the least! Can't wait to hear from you Tuesday!

Hi Konni
We have all had the same thoughts before,I didn't write any letters i was gonna but i just talk to my wife and kids and told them dad was going to do this so i could see them graduate and it something happend to me it didn't matter because i wasn't going to be here much longer without it and it i have the sugery i will be around much longer if it all goes ok! So we all agreed to go ahead i maid sure.So it was there decision too.Konni i'm doing pretty good this was my best day so far(go figure day 13)I went visiting i was out for 3 hours, the first time in a long time.I had a pair of pant on today that i havn't been able to wear for 2 years and a shirt that was the same!!! I was so happy.I was depressed because i hated the shakes but i finally got a recipe i liked or could tollerate.I finally go my protein in and had energy!!!Well anyway konni i will pray for you i know everything will be just great and you will be just GREAT!!!Good luck with the in-laws.4 hours i wouldn't drove 3 hrs before my sugery.I would be in too much pain!! Thanks for your great encourgement through this. Jeff
Hey wild woman!
I have not gone threw this yet. But all the information I have read tells me we are all wild weight Loss people here. Your in my prayers that God will give you and your family inner peace. Just think next week you'll be on the loser side. then I 'll be having sugery maybe in a month and you can help me out. I think forming a support group here in quincy is a fine Idea. take care wild wl woman.
Darn, Konni, we were hoping to meet you last night, I'm sorry you couldn't make it. And believe me, what you're feeling is very typical. I didn't tell anyone but my sons about the surgery, and that's only because they were here for Christmas. Neither of my daughters knew until afterwards. Brooke and I will be coming to see you next week, so hang in there. We'll be thinking of you.
