Virtual hand holder needed!

I am having surgery  RNY on 6/27 and i really would like to have someone who has been through it all help me. Is there anyone out there who has felt like the biggest chicken and still survived it all? I feel like the fear will kill me long before the fat will! I am scared to death and hope other will encourage me about the actual surgery..

Hello there, i had the vertical sleeve surgery 3/21/11 and i was the biggest chicken ( still am :) ) , luckly for me i did with y sister who wasnt a chicken at all. She helped me through everything and now all she says is "i told you so". I was afraid of the meds, then the cutting, and i worried about everything, so what i did was pray and all my fears were gone, i knew the lord wouldnt leave me, so with that i will tell you to pray and leave it all in God's hands, he will see you through this. I came out of surgery with no complications, only took 40 minutes, and i thank god i did it. so if you need to chat or just talk email me at [email protected]. i know exactly what you are feeling, but trust me when i say it will all be worth it.
