Getting Nervous. . .

Next Monday is my date and now since it's getting close I'm getting nervous. (Last week I was complaining that I had to wait!!!) Thanks to all the recent post ops for posting your progress, it makes me feel better. I am blessed that I have support but it really helps coming from people that have been there. Denise

Denise, Boy, does this bring back memories. I was very nervous as well. I had never had a stitch, much less major surgery!!!! You will do fine! You are getting ready for a whole new wonderful life!!!! Nancy

Good Morning Denise, You'll be fine....It won't be long until your doing the Happy All the weight falling off and you'll think to yourself, why didn't I do this sooner.....You take care and good luck on your surgery... Sandi

I'm 15 days from my date, Denise, and the nervousness is starting to hit me, too. Just hang in there and keep your eye on the prize...a new and healthier you! Lisa L.

Hi Carolina Girl, I was very nervous right before my surgery up until the night before. Then the day of surgery I woke up very at peace with my decision. Nerves didn't hit me again until I was on the stretcher waiting for them to take me to the OR....I kept thinking "all I have to do is get up and walk out the door and never look back", but I knew I would regret it the rest of my life....I'm only two weeks post-op, and I know it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Try to relax and think of how much research and thinking ahead you did to come to the decision to do this...rely on that right now and realize you're just having cold feet. We'll be thinking of you.

Denise your time will be here in a snap. It is weird how time moves when something huge like this is happening...happy, nervous, afraid then peace. So my wish for you is peace. Gail

Denise, Nerves have really hit me today. My husband and I had my last pre-op appointment with my surgeon we had to sign commitment contracts and all. Then he went over all the complications that could happen, I have heard and read them all before, but today it was like it all hit me like a ton of bricks. I nearly started to cry, I got faint and started getting a headache. I am not going to scare myself out of the best decision I have made in my life since I got married. My date is Tuesday 4/11/06 so we won't be but a few hours apart in that aspect. I will keep you in my prayers, and try not to go stir crazy. Terri
