Well only 3 days till surgery

I am having a hard time with anxiety and I am scared and nervous but I know in my heart of hearts THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT THING FOR ME!!!!! I know this so why I am having these feeling, every sugery I have had I get this way but mostly the day of. I am having to try to do the bowel prep which I hope the way I am gonna do it works you all are such big helps I do not know where I would be with out this board. Thank you all. Annrenee

Annrenee, This is totally normal. I think there would be something wrong with you if you didnt have these feelings. This just shows that you are up on the surgery and what could happen, because it is major surgery. You just think about this surgery a few days more because when you start the bowel prep it brings it to you that this is gonna happen. You are in my prayers and thoughts and I hope you have a very uneventful surgery and a wonderful WLS journey. Just think happy thoughts and have a nice long relaxing and calm down. Darlene

your gonna do wonderful, and everything your feeling right now is normal!!! breath and relax... and get ready cause your gonna be a looser!!!! yippie!!!!

Thank you and yes I am a BIG looser 100 pd smileing Annrenee

These feelings are very normal, I was just fine up untill the morning of surgery and had to say goodbye to my son, for some reason that scared me to death. The entire drive to the hospital made it worse, because all I could think of was I doing the right thing, what if I never saw my husband again. By the time I arrived at the hospital, I was almost to the point of cancelling my surgery, but I prayed and knew that I was doing the right thing, and it saved my life because it found my liver in the shape it was in I would have never lived until the age of 45. Dr. Spaw noticed how nervous I was and he even said a prayer in the holding room prior to my surgery, prayer can really do alot to ease the soul, not to mention the medication they gave me after I met with Dr. Spaw. I am so glad that I had the surgery and did not allow my fear to keep me from following through or it would have never saved my life. You will be fine, I will also keep you in my prayers. Shelia

Annrenee, We will all be thinking about you and sending warm, happy thoughts your way! Good luck, you'll be fine! ~~Elena

Everything will be fine. It is normal to be nervous and scared the days prior and day of surgery. I was so scared the day of surgery I felt like I had a hard time generating enough oxygen. We are here for you and you will do great. Where and what time is your surgery? If you don't mind I will try and stop by and see you after your surgery. Best wishes!!!!

I would love that thank you. Annrenee
