MY DAY IS GETTING CLOSER!!!!

ok so I went to my pre-op appt on Nov 1st and went over everything for surgery and I am ready to go. No I still have not gotten my vitamins Amber..lol.. i will be going in for surgery Nov 13, I am now just worried about getting everything in and making sure I stay hydrated. I am so excited to finally go through with this and I can't believe it's really going to be happening!!!! I have to say that this board has really helped me and have answered a lot of my questions (I still have some) but everyone has really gave me a lot of support and I truly am blessed for that and I am just asking that everyone put me in their prayers on November 13th..

Funny girl! I'll smack ya on Thursday! Hehehe. Now go get your vitamins! Believe me, its the last thing you want to think of when you get home. I have a feeling you're gonna be just fine! Amber

haha i can't wait till thursday it will be fun and it will be the last support meeting before my surgery!!! ok so I have to tell ya that I printed out your pic and I am going to give it to my hairdresser to show her that that is how I want my hair to look like a couple months after surgery (when my hair is starting to fall out) so just to let u know how much I like your hairstyle I carry around your picture..lol...we need to decide on a time for Outback...

Hi Jessica, You can count on my prayers, for sure! I am so excited for you that your day is almost here. I bet you thought it would never get here! I know that's how I feel right now for myslef. Keep us posted on your progress! Hugs and best wishes, Robin

Hey Jessica, Allow me to share with you what got me through the surgery and the fear. As I was being put to sleep I remembered the song, Jesus, Take the Wheel and I ask him to do just that. I was totally out of control of what would happen to me over the next few hours. I had a successful & uneventful surgery. My recovery was nothing short of a miracle. I was told by many that had gone before me that they had never seen anyone bounce back the way I did. I was never bedridden after surgery. It was totally amazing but I know that Amazing Grace is what brought me through. You will be in my prayers and as you are being put to sleep, just ask God to be in control. He will!!! Lots of Love Kathy

Jessica I can remember when I was close too!! It is a very exciting time. Amber is right - you do not want to have to bother with your vitamins as soon as you get home so you should go and get them now. You will do fine and we will be happy to welcome you to the losing side! Jackie

Hi Jessica! Prayers coming your way, my dear! I am so excited for you! I can't believe what a little over a year has done for me...and my family. I can't wait to hear all about how it changes your life! It will be difficult in the beginning...but oh so worth it! I would do it all again in a heartbeat! When I started having anxiety about the surgery...I would think about...Gosh...what if I did NOTHING???? I did it to save my life...to improve my quality of life as well. I am so thankful I did...and now my kids have a mom that they have to keep up with...instead of one with one foot in her grave! Hugs, Stephanie
