nerves!!

SORRY TO KEEP POSTING ABOUT HOW NERVOUS I AM BUT I JUST NEED TO LET IT ALL OUT. I WONDER IF THE BUTTERFLIES IN MY BIG STOMACH KNOW THERE WON'T BE ROOM IN MY LIL' STOMACH AFTER MONDAY? MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP ME BUSY TOMORROW TO KEEP MY MIND OFF OF THE SURGERY AND THE FACT THAT I CAN'T EAT ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD EAT ANYTHING TOMORROW ANYWAY BEING THIS NERVOUS. I KNOW THE DR AND STAFF WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME BUT I STILL AM VERY NERVOUS. WAS EVERYONE ELSE THIS NERVOUS? I AM NOT SO NERVOUS THAT I AM THINKING OF BACKING OUT NO SIREE!!! I HAVE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE GIVING ADVICE BUT FOR NOW I NEED ADVICE!! THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE AND LETTING ME VENT AND WORRY!!

Hey girlie! You are COMPLETELY normal! I posted a few days before my surgery to make sure I wasn't some crazy girl. I was extremely nervous beforehand. I submitted it to a LOT of prayer and when I woke up the morning of my surgery, I was ready to get it done. I pray God gives you that peace that passes all understanding and you can just relax. It will be fine, I know! You hang in there, chickadee...you'll be on the loser's bench in no time. HUGS and PRAYERS!!!! Liz

OK THANKS THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER! JUST HAD MY LAST MEAL AT MY INLAWS HOUSE. WE HAD HAMBURGERS ON THE GRILL AND SHE MADE ME SUGAR FREE PUDDING WITH LITE COOL WHIP. I GUESS I AM FINISHED EATING FOR A WHILE BUT THAT'S OK.

I think anyone undergoing surgery for any reason, will feel nervous beforehand, so I think your feelings are completely normal. I waited almost six months from my consultation to the actual surgery day, and I had those six months to fret and worry about the surgery. When I got the surgery date, I was soooo excited I almost "forgot" all they worrying I had done for six months..I was anxious, and deep down, I was nervous, it's just that the excitement took over. What made me nervous more than anything was the unknown part of it - never had surgery before - the anesthesia part was mostly what concerned me. My experience was great as I am sure yours will be....you'll do great!! - Anna

You are totally normal and have every right to be nervous. It's all going to be okay though. Just remember most of us have allready been through this and we made it just fine.(after it was all over with) Do your best to try and relax and enjoy your day tomorrow. Stay busy, let go and let God handle it. " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". I repeat this over and over again when I am nervous. It works wonders, Rita

The docs remove most of the butterflies while they are in there!  The ones they miss they drown with really good drugs!  Seriously, you are perfectly normal.  If you weren't nervous we would be worried about you.  You are going to do great.  I will be by to see you about 5 or 5:30 on Monday evening.  We can go walk with Christy! Denise

I LOOK FORWARD TO FINALLY MEETING YOU! I GET MYSELF WORKED UP SOMETIMES AND MY HUSBAND IS AT WORK SO I CAN'T VENT TO HIM. I KNOW HE WOULD CALM ME DOWN BUT I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TIL TOMORROW. THANKS A LOT YOU GUYS!!! I WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOME OTHER WORRY TO POST ABOUT TOMORROW!!

That's OK!  That is why we are here.  We are the best group of folks I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  We take good care of one another. Denise

Completely normal! I was the weird one...got scared on the way in to surgery and was crying when the nurses put the oxygen mask on me! Perfectly normal, and we'll all be waiting to see you on the other side. ((hugs))

when I get nervous, I shake. That's fun when they're puttin in an IV. You're totally normal to be nervous. When the juice starts flowing, you won't know a thing until you wake up though. It's all going to be wonderful. You're in great hands!! Cindy
