I'm SCARED!

So I can't believe this has happened so fast.  I started this process years ago, and I can't believe I am due for surgery on Tuesday.  Now...I am scared.  I am starting to think...what if something goes wrong.  I can't leave my little baby without a Mommy.  I am sickened that I have to place my life at risk, because I am overweight and can't get the weight off.  Being a mom sure puts things in perspective.  I just try to think that I will be able to be a better Mommy to her once I can take off some of the weight.  And hopefully I will live a longer and more healthy life.  But it still doesn't stop me from being scared. Anyone interested in being my Angel?  I am not sure exactly what they are...but I think I could use one.

Don't be scared....easier said than done.  You will be in good hands.  And like you are already thinking....you are going to be there longer for your baby in the long run.  We will be thinking of you.

Hey darlin this is totally normal to feel this way and ya know what we have all been there.  You will be fine and everything will go smooth and you will be home and healing before you know it.  I know saying this is easier said than done but it will be okay and it's okay to be afraid and we are all here for you.  When ever you need anything let me know and I am here for ya.  Take care sweets and it will all be over soon and then we can welcome you to the bench. YIPPPPEEEEEEEE pm me if ya want to. Hugs Marsha

It's normal to be a bit nervous........ Think positive as risks are low.  You are going for healthy to be there for the LONG run!!  You can do it!   An angel is someone who is there for you, posts and let's us all know you are good.  I wouldn't be able to go to the hosiptal but I am a stone's throw away from your home, so let me know if ya need anything!!!  If you want I will PM you my digits and would be more then happy to let all know that all went well for you!!!! Hey!  Can ya make it to coffee tomorrow at 10 in North Branch?

Oh, I must have missed the coffee in North Branch post.  I will try to make it!

You are going to do a great job!  What did the doc say today?  I am sure everything is going to be fine.  Your baby wont even remember it.......and think of how much fun your going to have playing with your kids!  The energy.  You are lucky to do this so young!  Good for you kiddo!  You're in my thoughts and prayers!

I totally understand where you are coming from.  I had surgery 9 mo ago....and had complications.  My two year old son got really used to seeing mom not feeling so well.  You have to keep the goal in mind, To have a better life for yourself and your daughter.  I now treasure chasing my 2 year old around the yard in the snow and wrestle with our dogs.  He thinks it is the greatest fun.  I know I would have NEVER been able to even think of it 9 mos ago.   Bring a Picture of her with you to see her in the hospital and thank her everyday for giving you the strength to get through it not only for yourself but for her as well.  You will totally thank yourself for it, It may not be initially but you will get there.  Please feel free to contact me if you just need someone to talk to.  I totally know where you are coming from.  [email protected]  I'll keep you in my prayers, Jen

Hey...LOOK we have the SAME surgery date!  It's a good. good day that Tuesday March 18th 2008!  You know, I'm guessing emotions may run the gamet in these next few days.  Like everyone else says, that's totally normal!  :O)  You are young and I'm guessin pretty healthy?  You are going to be fine.  You have a DR. you trust and know good things about I'm assuming?  I've seen your DR.'s name on this board alot!  He knows what he's doing and it's what he does well!  Try to change your thinking to after the surgery.  Think about life after that.  My suggestion is to say a prayer, give your surgery to God and let the excitment roar!  Whoo Hoo!!!!!!  Good Luck! 

Don't be scared Naomi....this will be for the best in the long run. You will sail through this with flying colors. Think of the fun you will have with your daughter this summer.....life will be easier. Hang in there a few more days....you can do it!! I am sending prayers your way for peace and contentment. Hugs, connie d
