Unexpectedly Nervous

Hello All - I've read many posts about how people start to get nervous as their surgery date approaches. But didn't think that would happen to me, because I was very confident in my decision to get this surgery. But now that it's nearing, I do find myself not only nervous but anxious, excited and last weekend even second guessing my decision for RNY instead of the lapband. Even though I know that it's completely normal to have a wide range of emotions going into major surgery, I just never expected it to be this intense. Anyway, I am still above all very excited but the days just seem to be drag on and on. It's been such a long journey and can't wait to start my new life on April 9th! I think that I have everything done except of course to pack for the hospital. Does anyone know if St Lukes gives you a splinting pillow to use or do I need to bring one myself? Michelle

Michelle, Skinny wishes to you for an uneventful surgery and an amazing wake up to the healthy side of life!!!! Take a deep breath and dream of shopping shopping shopping!!!!! Hugggzz to you! Joyce P.S. Take your own comfy coughing pillow!

Hi Michelle, All you are feeling is so normal. As far as the pillow, I took my own that I was comfortable with. I ended up using a throw pillow that decorates our bed as it was nice and firm and fit my belly just right. Hugs, Gina
