It is a natural feeling to be nervous of the unknown, especially surgery. It is a life altering event and a lot to take in.  Go with the flow and everything will fall into place. When you come home and follow the post-op plan, hopefully leaving those babies will have been one of the best decisions you could have made. They need a healthy and happy Mom. We'll be saying our prayers for you for a smooth surgery and a uneventful recovery. Keep on posting and don't forget the CHAPSTICK for the hospital.

thank u for the encouragement, and yes my babies need a healthy and happy momma

Life altering... for the better of course!!! You've made it this far & that's been the hardest part!!! You will be fine!!! When you get home make sure you follow dr's orders!!! It's very important!!!

It is totally normal to be scared...I was petrified...just keep your eye on the prize...it is all worth it!  Good luck...see you on the loser's bench! Rosemary

It's normal to be scared, I know I was!  But it's worth it in the long run.  Keep in mind how much better you'll be feeling 6 months from now, how much healthier you'll be, and how much more quality time you'll be able to spend with your babies.  Here's wishing you a successful and uneventful surgery, and a speedy recovery!!

Nanette, Everything you are feeling is totally normal. Everyone gets nervous as the BIG day aproaches. I will be thinking about you Thursday and sending you positive prayers for an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery. Make sure someone updates the forum on your progress while you are in the hospital. We are all anxious when another one of our "family" members is going for surgery. We'll be cleaning off a seat for you on the loser's bench, can't wait to see you there! Hugs, Lisa

Here is wishing you good luck on your journey and to take one day at a time.  Take care angie
