pre-op and anxious and nervous

Hi, anyone else out there pre-op anxious and nervous?

Marykate, I'm not pre-op, but I have been there, just a little shy of a year now and boy did it go fast, anyway, it's sooooo normal to be where you are right now, just breath in and breath out and believe that you've been led here and that only good things will come out of this decision you've made to get healthy and enjoy living the way we are meant to live!

Wishing you the best possible transition to the Loser's Bench and a smooth recovery process!

Hugs,

We have all been there....what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

Take some deep breaths and try to relax.....you will find out how wonderful this WLS really is!!!

Hugs, connie d

Marykate, im 2 weeks out and i know just how you feel but it will be over soon and with god on your side every thing will go fine and you will be on the losing side soon.

I remember those pre op days.  Take a deep breath, trust your research and decisions, and soon you will be on the loser's  bench with the rest of us!

I'm there!  I'm going in at 11 this morning for my surgery, and I am totally on the same page as you.  I have been extremely emotional for the past two weeks in particular, and yesterday was quite tearful. But through all those emotions and tears, I still feel strong about my choice to do this, and I am totally ready to go.  You will be too!!  It's time for me to embark on this journey.  I'm sure, under all the anxiety, you feel the same.  Good luck to you!

Haven't been there yet but my prayers are with you.
Be positive and think happy thoughts!

ME!!!  My surgery is less than a week away.  I'm sick with a cold right now, on a liquid diet, nervous about the surgery. I'll be glad when next Thursday gets here.

I caught a terrible cold too just days before surgery. I was so afraid of getting canceled. Nancy C who used to post her frequently recommended a supplement. I can't remember the name, but you took a bunch each day for a couple of days. I don't know if it was in my head or not but it sure did the trick.  I think it was probably an overload of vitamins. You might check with a drug store. Rest, juice, water. You have almost a week so I'm sure you'll kick that cold before then.  Hugs! Nerves? Oh yes, I can be the queen of nerves in most any situation. Rest assured that you would not be normal if you weren't a bit nervous! Hugs.

When is your surgery? This is a great place to come to for info, friendship, reassurance, and just an all around good group of people.
