Surgery Jitters

Well folks,

It's almost that time.  My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday morning and I am getting so nervous.  I know I am in good hands, but it is still scary.  I've had a lot of things happen in the past three years so I'm not too keen about having another surgery but I am sooo ready to get my sleeve and start shedding some of this excess weight.

Keep me in your prayers if you would and I will report back when I get back home.

It would be weird if you weren't nervous!  You will be in great hands at Weight Wise.  They take very good care of their patients.  You are in for a wild ride in the next few months.  Fasten your seatbelt, the fun starts in less than 36 hours!

See you on Thursday!  I hope you feel up to coming upstairs to group but I will see you either way.

So normal!!!!  I had the jitters too!  I will keep you in my prayers and look forward to reading you are in your room resting and sipping!

If you was not at least a bit nervous I would be worried, lol.  Kim I can say this hun, a calming hand from above will come to you the monring of the surgery.  I was the most calm of all the people who were there at my side during that morning.  God was with me and He guided the skilled hands of Dr. Gorospe and Dr. Kirk.  I know He will guide your doctor's hands too.  God Bless you Kim and spend tomorrow as relaxed as you can.  I wish I could say you are not going to cry tomorrow some, cause if this ol burlly cowboy can cry the day before surgery anyone can.  The funny thing is, I am admitting I cried about it.  Best of luck!!!

Like Dan, I was very calm the day of surgery. I knew God was with me, but it also helped me to think about all the successful people who had gone before me. You are in great hands!

Good luck!  It will be over before you know it and the rewards will be plenty!

I'll be thinking and praying for ya!

I'm so glad that your date is almost here.  I think for me the hardest part was getting to that date.  I got tired of thinking about it, talking about it and just wanted it.  I was emotional because I thought it would NEVER happen for me.  I was so at peace with my decision of the surgeon, facility and on the surgery day I was not one bit nervous.  I will be praying for you and I think you will find this to be the easier of all your procedures....this will change your life!!! You are in wonderful hands at WW. 

I will definitely keep you in my prayers~ Jitters are a normal thing (I'd be a bit worried if you weren't nervous), but just know that there are so many of us on here who have been successful and all of us are waiting for you on the loser's bench!  Can't wait to hear your updates and how great you are doing!

Just like everyone said, He will guide through this.  The only time pre-op that I really emotional was when I had to do my last will.  Even then it wasnt so much what if something happens to me, it was trying to make arrangements for my daughter is something happens to me.  I know that He was with me during this process, and maybe it was Him that made me feel so relaxed. But the thought of living a few more years with all the medical complications that I was having before WLS, was scarier than the though of something happenning during.  I am not sure what your situation is, but good luck to you and everything will be fine.
