Is it normal?

It must be some kind of hormone thing...but I am
completely freaking out. I am sure this is what I want
to do. I have been sure for 7 mths, but I feel like
crying all of a sudden. My stomach is in knots and
I am gagging like I want to throw up.

My son is asking alot of questions about death and
people taking his mom away, I am reassuring him
that no one is taking his mom away, but am I sure?

WOW IS THIS THE 2 WEEK FREAK??????

Omg girl I am too. I had my last surgical consult with Dr.Olsen, my nut class and my blood work and preregistering yesturday. On the way home I was what am I doing, I want this surgery so bad but I am totally freaked out. Thats all I do is think about it. But from what I was told this is normal. It would probaly would be a little strange if you didnt have a little fear. So believe me it is normal. I am sh**ing bricks lol. Good luck. You are in my prayers.

I know we are gonna be fine, but I guess everyone
freaks out. You will be in my prayers.

Well my surgery date is on June 11 th and I am also getting nervous. But let me also tell you this...I work in Surgery, I watch about 7 or 8 patients go to sleep everyday, and not once have I ever seen one not wake up...so I am not as afraid as I used to be... I beleive that you will do great and you will soon be an energetic mom that has enough energy to get up and play with your son in ways that I'm sure wear you out to do now.

Sheriberi that makes me feel so much better. Maybe
you could be in my surgery to make sure its ok.LOL
We are all gonna be fine,and yes..I just can't wait
to out run my son.

OK..  what you are all going through, I did too..  so I'm going to say it is normal, cause I don't want to admit I'm not normal.. 

BUT yes..  I was freaking, I KNEW it was want I wanted to do..  and needed to do...  and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me...     BUT nothing was/is WRONG...   as our group leader was saying last night, these doctors are incredible, and have been doing this so long they know what they are doing. 

Kids ask questions in order to try and figure out their world..  just reassure him, all is ok, not only is Mom coming back..  but you are coming back and getting healthier!!

Now in the words of our wise friend, Scott..   B-R-E-A-T-H-E!!!!!

BREATHE

Ok Amy I am ..breathing, on the potty as I have
the runs....LOL Just kidding (not).

Get used to being there.. u r getting a DS... LOL  

Ronda - it is so normal for you to feel this way.  the morning of surgery I took my camera and made a video telling everyone how much i loved them and telling my ex is they let anything happen to my dogs I would haunt them.. LOL i watch it back now and laugh at how my fat face moved when i cried...

After I got my surgery date I was excited for a whole day, and then reality set in. I was terrified because it was all so suddenly real. I did what I always do when something is bothering me. I had a long talk with my husband about my fears and the risks. He reminded me of why I sought the surgery in the first place. He also reminded me that my life is ultimately in God's hands. He told me he believed that God wanted me to do this, otherwise, why would he have worked it out so smoothly. He prayed with me and we decided I would set things in order, just in case but that we would leave it in God's hands. I was completely at peace with my decision after that. Find a close friend or family member who is completely supportive and talk it all out. Even on surgery day, I was calm, cool and collected. You just have to find it within yourself to accept that you are willing to take the risk of surgery to have a better life.
I know you will be fine.
Blessings,
Karen

Thank you, Sunshine. I know you are right, I am going
to try really hard to not get all "worked up".
It is in God's hands , I will be fine.
