Topic: RE: Very scared
My surgery is scheduled for May 27th. So I know exactly what you are going thru, I was feeling the same way, but I decided I had a choice in how I spent the last week before my surgery, because the fact is I am not canceling my surgery. I could spend it worrying & driving myself crazy or spend it focusing on the prize & what my future will hold. So I have done all my post op shopping, I went thru tons of before & after pics, got some real deals on some clothes on e-bay in sizes I will wear at some point & didn't have (I'm talking like 2 & 3 dollars) focusing on my future weight loss is actually keeping me sane while waiting for my date to get here! I have done tons of research online & found some great products. You tube is a great resource with great video blogs of peoples journeys. Hope this helps! Fab

Topic: RE: Did anyone have this feeling after surgery???
Hang in there Angie. All of these things get better. Just don't try to brush your tongue right now...I promise it will get better.....
Topic: RE: Very scared
Being scared is the most normal thing in the world. You will do fine. Think about the end result. Yes, it is hard to listen to someone who hasn't had surgery, but hang in with it. Listen to the people on this Board, look for support in other areas. We have a local group, LCBB (Low Country Bypass Buddies). We haven't met as much in the past few months as we should, but we are planning to get back to it. We hope you will join us.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Soon I will be saying welcome to the losing side. It is scarey, but the best ride you will ever take!
BTW we all think Dr. B is the best. He and MUSC will take good care of you, so trust in him and you will be fine!!!

Topic: RE: It Hurts When I Drink
Thanks I got a call back and they said that its not uncommon because at one week out inflammation can be at its highest. I was told to try different temps also and some gas x. Sorry if I sounded grumpy I don't deal with pain well :(
