7 DAYS TO GO

SURGERY ON THE 21ST OCT AT GWU GETTING SCARED BUT I KNOW WHAT WILL HELP ME IN THE LONG RUN.  LIVE IN THE FORESTVILLE, MD AREA ANYONE IN THAT AREA WOULD LIKE TO START A WALKING PROGRAM WILL NEED A LOT ON MOTIVATION

Hi,

I don't live near Forestville, so I can't help you out with the walking.  I just wanted to say congrats and that it's normal to be scared (and anxious...and excited...and and and).  Next week will be here before you know it and you can join everyone on the loser's bench!

It's completely normal to be scared, nervous, excited, etc., right up until you walk into the OR!!

But hang in there for the ride of your life!!

Keep us posted!

Hugs,

Tia

I think I was most scared waiting to go into surgery.  They were about 1 1/2 late getting me in there.

Best wishes for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. I'm not too far from Forestville, but my hips at the moment won't let me walk for more than 5 minutes at a time. Hopefully after some of this weight comes off I can do more. Good Luck with your journey.

I think it's normal to be nervous before your surgery.  Try to relax.
I'm in the area, so maybe we can coordinate some walking.  I'm not doing as much as before because I'm almost 7 months pregnant, but I'll be back at it pretty hard after the baby is born in January.

THANKS AND CONGRATS ON THE BABY WILL LIKE THAT

That's great that you are nearly there! 

Hi There,

We all have been there. It is normal to feel anxious and scared.  Just think that this is the best thing you could have ever done for you!! 

Wishing you all the best in your journey.   Please know that we are all here for you. 
I don't live in MD but just wanted to let you know that if you can not find someone from here to walk with you.  Meet people in your neighborhood and ask if they are interested in walking.  most of the time Stay at home Mom's loved to go walking.  

Take care and congrats on your upcoming surgery date!
