Less than 24 hours to go!

Well with surgery scheduled to start at 11:30 on Tuesday I will admit I am nervous. I am not scared about the surgery but i am more afraid of saying good bye to my sons in the morning and never seeing them again. But I know the risk of that is low. But it is on my mind. Thanks to all f you who have shown support over the last several months. I hope to update all of you by weeks end. Joshua

Good luck tomorrow, you'll be fine. I was just at NW on Wednesday for my 3 month follow up Gwen

Joshua, Best of luck with your surgery! Keep us posted on your progress! Kathleen

Josh, You will do fine. Tomorrow is my 8 weeks out. I am very happy with my sucess so far. Dont think bad thoughts. Even though I did have some prior to surgery also. Just remember the faster you are up and about after surgery the less time you will be in the hospital. I was released after 2.5 days. Also dont be afraid after surgery. If you think your not doing something right, call the drs office. They will give you advice on what to do. For me at week 3 I started finding that I could only handle about 1 oz of food, and only 4 oz a day. I have had 2 endoscopys already and Wednesday I have to go for a 3rd. There is nothing to worry about, so get rid of that thought now! Also you will find that all the nurses on USEN 6 are wonderful.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i'm so excited for you!!! i have 50 DAYS myself. every time my boss looks at me she gives me the "don't do it" look. Don't worry. please let me know how you are feeling afterward!!!!

Best of luck Josh! I know you'll come through with flying colors!! Please heal fast and get back here and let us know how you're feeling!!

I'll be praying for you, your family and surgeon tomorrow. God bless and look forward to you updating us at the end of the week. My surgery is 2 weeks away so you can tell me all about it. Hugs, Bunny

I have a good feeling about this week! I am scheduled for Thursday the 30th. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. The 28th is my Mom's B'day, so nothing but good things happen on 11/28!! I know the feelings you have now are disturbing. I am having them too. But again...........POSITIVE thinking will help us through. Hang in there. God Bless Peg G.
