Just stopping by....

I am so busy at work it is not even funny.  this week is going to be busy also.  I had my girls group last night, school tongiht, meeting a class mate Wed night to assist her with class (Stats class), last pre op thursday.  I work Friday and sunday night.  My mom wants to have a party at the pool Saturday for my youngest daughter (she turned 7 Sunday) and my nephew (will be 4 on the 23).  I worried about that day because I am on the pre op diet and I have only soup.  I can not heat the water up where we will be on Sat.  I am already being a bad girl and "missing" meals.  I may not have all my soup and meal bars for the day.  But I am one week out from surgery today.  I am getting more and more nervous.  About the surgery that I may not have it.  If I don't I will have to wait until July and restart the process all over again with new insurance.  OK, had my 5 minute break, back to pounding away at these numbers.......

Hi Melissa,  I am having my surgery on the 30th and keeping busy has helped me. I have not got to the nervous part of having surgery yet. I want this surgery so bad. I have went through all the bells and whistles. Stay focused to what you want. I am looking forward to being healther and looking better. Sit down for a few minutes and write out the pros and cons of the surgery.    Gwen

Good Luck with you surgery. I too can not wait to have my surgery.  I have thought about it for 5 years and worked on it for 2 years.  I am SO ready!!  Good Luck with your Surgery!

Just try to stay focused on the variables you can control and everything else will fall into place.  Best of luck to you.

I am such a control freak and borderline OCD that I have to remind myself all the time that I can only change what is in my immediate control.  Everythingelse, i have to let go and allow to run its course.

"OCD".....I know all about that.  I married one of those so its not entirely a bad thing.

I think everyone goes through the nerves part -- not abnormal at all!  Just keep in mind what it is you want, and go from there.  We are here if you need shoulders to lean on!  :)

I hope the next week goes fast and smoothly for you.  I know you would be dissapointed to have to start all over come July with new insurance.  I'm sure everything will work out!

Why would you not have the surgery Melissa? If you are one week out it sounds like everything is doing fine and you wil be scheduled in as planned. You don't want to have to start again so hang in there and go for it! Now don't miss meals yet - you need to be strong going into surgery!!  Good luck and keep us posted! Jackie

My fear is something would happen that they would postpone it.  Like I get sick.  That is the stuff out of my control!!  I need to stop my escalting thoughts.
