Really getting NERVOUS!!!!!!!!

I'm really getting NERVOUS, I know by the my surgery date(May 4th) I'll be a basket case. So if anyone has any words of encouragement it would really be appericated. Thanks guys

It's only natural that you would feel nervous!  It's a day that you've been looking forward to...  and surgery is always a little bit unnerving.  Soon it will be over and you will be thinking, "Now why on earth was I nervous just for that?"  

Leigh,
We will all be praying for you. You will be fine, and a new
part of your life starts. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I thought I'd be a basket case too.. but surprisingly the closer it got the more relaxed I got.  I was ready to be on the loser's bench!  

As in the words of our dear Scott.....   breathe!!!!!!!!!

HUGS

Holly

It's so normal to be nervous...and anxious...and, well, just down right excited.  Everything will be great.....just focus on preparing your house for when you come home---get your vitamins & pat yourself on the back...you are on a journey that is going to change your life forever in the most positive way imaginable.....your health, your appearance, your life......it's so amazing that there are so many diseases that people suffer from that are incurable and we are so fortunate that the disease of obesity, in our cases, has a "cure" as long as we do what our surgeons tell us and follow the plan. 

You can do it....the waiting is the hardest part (oh, that Tom Petty song is ringing in my head after typing that...get out of my head Tom Petty!).....

The weather is suppos'd to be wonderful this weekend....do all the things that you won't be able to for five weeks after surgery while you are healing.......this is so exciting!

Good Morning,
I am a nurse.  I was terrified.  I had a little too much knowledge I think.  The closer it got, the more nervous I got.  But, for me, I put it in the hands of the the Lord.  I knew I needed to do this and I knew that I was already slowly dying. At best I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and that wasn't the life I wanted.  So, I just became determined to to this, and left it to the Lord.  It also helped that when I got to the hospital, I told the pre-op nurse how nervous I was.  She had the anesthesiologist "slip" me some sedative when I wasn't looking, and then I wasn't nearly so nervous!  Hope this helps.

 I was a bit anxious, but as it got closer, I just felt peaceful.  I had made the right decision and what was gonna happen was gonna happen.  

I also used the days prior to surgery to chuck all the bad food that got me into this mess out of my house.  It made my post op time much easier, when I looked in my fridge, freezer and pantry and only good WLS worthy foods were there.  And I can open the pantry without boxes falling on my head!

We're all thinking of you and excited for your upcoming surgery!  May 4th will be here before you know it!

Hugs!
Denise
