Surgery tomorrow...lots of emotions

What am I feeling? Oh SHYT!!...I still wont believe its happening until I wake up morphined up and was told the surgery went fine..I have horror stories of going in and coming out not being able to get the band due to some un-forseen cir****tance...

Ive also had feelings of, why am I doing this..which is shocking because I NEVER once doubted for a second that I didnt want to get this done..I never had second thoughts, was never anxious,nervous, scared...etc...now I am all that AND more...

 I still have to go grocery shopping for all of my post op things..I am such a procrastinator...I will try to get that done today..Key word is TRY...If not I will have my husband pick up the stuff for me..

Im supposed to pick up a friend of mine today in Delaware. so I may not have time to go shopping. I lived in Georgia for 10 years and her and I got to be very close friends when I lived down there....She is up here visiting and we are going to kick it for a few, but tonight is going to be an early party night....early because I cant eat after 8p....but then again they said NOTHING about not drinking...lmao...KIDDING..I wont go to surgery with a hangover..lol..

ANYWAY..I have a few of your phone numbers in my cell and will call if I feel up to it, TIA-I will have Big Daddy call you after surgery for an update...(BTW-Tia, he thought that was "utterly ridiculous...why does everyone need a live feed from the hospital"...lmao....) He's just jealous... :)

Heather I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!  You are going to do great!  Let me know if there is anything I can do. Hugs Kristen

Thank you Kristen...It seems like I have never done anything big like this for myself, so this is exciting for me as well. I think everyone in my life is  shocked..I never follow through on things....I procrastinate...For years, I always had surgery in the back of my mind but never took the initiative to check it out...Now Im doing it!!

It is time for you to start doing for YOU!

Heather - Everything you're feeling is completely normal.  You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have fears about any type of surgery.  You may be worse tomorrow - might wanna warn Big Daddy ahead of time!!!  LOL!!  But just roll with it - it IS a major deal.  But it's going to be great and you'll wake up on the other side - OUR SIDE!!! Tell Big Daddy I said hush - many people don't understand the sense of family we have here - if he's a good boy, we'll let him be a stepsibling! Hang in there! Tia

Heather - I know just how you are feeling.  I got the same way.  I think we all must go through the same feelings.  I was so happy to get there and then when I finally got in the room pre-op, I sat there thinking about a story I read on this website that a woman almost ran out of the room and said no to the surgery.  Keep yourself busy and your mind preoccupied.  You've made your decision and you know that it's best for you.  My worst fear was also waking up and them saying they couldn't do the procedure and it almost felt as if it wasn't done, until I got home and tried food that my pouch didn't like . . . yuck (LOL). Congratulations and tomorrow night it'll all be over and you'll be on the looser's bench!!!!!

Heather, Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a super speedy recovery! Hugs, Mo

Heather I'm so excited for you!!!  Gosh how I wi**** was me saying that my surgery was tomorrow....lol  You will be in prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery.  I will be waiting to see a post from Tia!  Good Luck! Teri

Good luck to you tomorrow!

From one Heather to another......you will be fine. :-) Everything will go wonderfully and you will come out of there a LOSER!!!! LOL Wishing you a quick recovery and welcome to the losing side!!! It's a wild and wonderful ride!!!!
