JUST CHECKING IN

Well it is a month before I have my surgery. I have started imagining how different my life will be with a lighter body. I am still scared to death, but not scared enough to not do the surgery. I know this is natural, especially since I have never had any type of surgery before. I have my egd scheduled for 7/7/06, I am not worried about that procedure, actually I'm looking forward to the sedation...I wonder what kind of patient I will be??????? Vanessa

You'll be a great patient! Best of luck!

I think you will be the model paitent. You seem to have a good mindset, and are determined to do your best. Being scared is very normal, I went through a wide range of emotions just prior to my surgery, and I expect most people do. Good luck to you!! Cindee

I think you will be a GREAT patient. It is totally normal to be "scared" and ANY other emotion you go through. I ran the whole gamut from "Giddy to terrified" in the weeks before my surgery. And now, here I am 19 months out and 138 lbs. lighter!!! You will do the same!! Hugs, Pam

Hey Vanessa. It has already been a pleasure for both Dr. Chung and myself having you as a patient. You are so well-informed and taking such an active, involved role in your health care that you are a dream patient. That's the kind of patient you are and will continue to be. Looking forward to having you join me on the other side!!!
