Surgery is coming quick! My day is this coming Friday...5 days away! I am getting sickly nervous and am trying not to think the worst. How do I think positive???? I think I just forgot! How crappy did you all feel and for how long?? I have four children and don't want to be out of commission for too long, but want to be realistic, too. Prayers and words of encouragment needed!

Signed, Can't Wait For Friday, Scared of Friday

HI Marie ARe you having Lap Band or RNY? I remember all to well the jitters before surgery - just do what they doctor tells you and you should be fine! I was feeling the same as you do the week before surgery - but in retrospect - it was the BEST thing I could ever have done for myself! My surgery was 7 months ago and I've lost 102 lbs - I've gone from a size 22 to a size 12! I wish you all the best! If you need support or would like to chat by phone - please feel free to email me ([email protected]) Pam

Almost there Marie! Just think about how great you're going to feel in a few months and how much you're going to relish those WOW moments. Also, think about how proud of you your kids are going to be! You'll do fine! Just keep your eye on the final goal!

Hey Marie!

I totally understand about being nervous, even scared, prior to surgery. I was scared to death! Seriously! But you know what? It all came to pass and I have no regrets what so ever!

I know you'll do fine! Kids and all! Just give them things to do to keep them helping you! It makes them feel important, no matter what age they are!

God Bless you! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers until we hear you're home and doing well!
