anxiety

Hello all! Sorry I couldn't make it to the Lakewood meeting last night, my son is sick and my hubby was working. I really needed it though, I am starting to get anxiety really bad. My surgery with Dr. Schmidt is scheduled for Monday, April 9th, but I still am waiting to hear from my insurance company. (Blue cross) I am VERY nervous about having surgery. I'm having mixed feeling because I know I need it to be healthy for my son, but on the other hand, God forbid something happen to me and I leave him without a mom. Am I crazy? PLEASE someone calm me down!!! Thanks, hope everyone is well...see you in TR! Marcie

Marcie, It is very normal to feel the way that you do. You are a Mom and nothing is probably any harder than doing that job. I had my surgery in June 06 and have lost 150 lbs. GBS was my second surgery and I must admit I wasn't scared. . If this is of any help, what will be will be. Best of luck to you. Jeanne
