I got my date!

Well I got my date. April 13th is the big day! I'm so excited but for some reason last night I had this horrible feeling of dread fall over me and now I can't stop thinking about what "could" go wrong. I have done all the research I can and I'm positive this will be the best thing for me, I just can't shake this feeling of aprehension. Is this normal? Am I over reacting? I can't wait to be feeling better and to posibbly not have to take most of my medication anymore, it's just this feeling in my stomach of all places of fear. My family is behind me on this and so is my husband so I have a lot of support. I don't know what the deal is. I go for my PAT's on the 27th of March. I just hope everything goes fine. I have asthma so hopefully it won't act up or interfere with the Pulminary tests. I've lost 7 of the 15 lbs I have to lose before surger and that was in one week! I haven't done that in years! I just hope I can be down the rest before surgery, and that my liver has shrunk enough to do it laproscopic. Thanks for listening to my ramble! I appreciate it! Lindsay

Congrats on your date. All the feelings you have are normal. Im going through the same thing and I dont even have my date yet (lol) I go see the surgeon today so I should be getting my date soon. I feel exactly how you feel right now. Im at working thinking why am I so nervous? But everything will be ok for you and good luck

Congratulations, Lindsay! Rest assured that your feelings are perfectly normal. The next month will probably be a roller coaster ride for you until you get closer to the "big day." I am sooo glad to hear that you have a strong and positive support network. You are very fortunate. I will think happy thoughts for you and ask for a feeling of peace to settle about you. Best of luck! Maria W.

Hi Linday, First of all Congrates! That is wonderful news. Like the others have already stated, it is PERFECTY NORMAL to have the feelings of doubt, fear, excitement and joy all rolled up in one. You will do fine. Just lean on you family and your OH family for support in the up coming weeks. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you will find peace with your decision. God Bless---Toni
