23 more days, SCARED

Hey guys and gals, I have 23 days till surgery and I'm so excited and scared. Scared that something will postpone or prolong my surgery process. I have no reason to think this. Hell, my nutritionist called to check on me yesterday, just to see if I had any questions before my surgery. I've got 2 more Psych. appt. and then just preop. I got my clothes sorted into sizes, God Knows I have a variety of them. I am in the process this week of buying supplements and my vitamins, not to mention my instant breakfasts and soup. Could use any advice or guidance for this waiting period and preporation! Thanks to everyone on this message board, You are all my Angels! God Bless, Angie

Angie, My advice would be to go to a local support group meeting if there is one nearby. Obesityhelp is great but it doesn't replace support groups! Dr. C The Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center Cincinnati, Ohio (513) 559-2545

Angie, Try starting a journal of your journey... I started with before pictures and Before measurements.... especially the week-to-night before. I made a list of the things that I couldn't do or do well before surgery; things I had stopped doing altogether; an list of goals that I wanted to do or do again at some point after my surgery. It helped keep my mind occupied...and the idea about the support group was excellent too! I went to mine about a week before my date..It was oh so helpful! and when I went back 1 month after surgery it was great! Everyone was just so helpful and Supportive (duh) sorry! Good luck and congrats on your date! V.
