13 MORE DAYS LEFT!!!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to stop in and speak. No, I am lying. My surgery is scheduled for the 6th at 7:30, I am the first surgery of the day!!! I am so nervous and scared, anxious, and excited. I know that I have a great doctor and that my God will be watching over me!!! But please tell me that what I am feeling is normal. I am about to go NUTS!! Hugs, Kennie

Kennie, Honey, this is sooo normal...if you weren't nervous, scared and anxious, I would wonder what was wrong with you. We have all been there and done that....just try to relax and enjoy your journey. I had my surgery 12/16 and I had open....I went to the conference this weekend and danced all night long with a "g" tube in my stomach...My life is going to be wonderful now and you have alot to look forward to....My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Betsy

Kennie - Hi nice to see that you are having normal thoughts and anxiety! I just had RYN-laproscopic with Terrecinna!! Surgery was 1-16-2006. I was even doubting if I needed the surgery the day before! I am glad that I went ahead with it. I actually had my first normal day today (day 8) I will be going back to work on day 10. If you need anyone to talk with - please go ahead and email me! Tracy 276 pre-op RYN 1/16/2006 256 today 1/24/2006 post-op 140 Goal

Yes. Very normal. I went back and forth up until about the last week. Then someone told me that actually helped me out a lot. They said "That once you go under it's up to God and in his hands. So don't worry about it because in reality it's all up to him." I realized that me getting all worked up wouldn't change the outcome so I set to making sure everything was in order if the worst should happen. You know the funny thing though. I called and made an appointment for Directv to come out for a repair and told them I wouldn't be home until @ Sept 6th. It actually felt good for me to hear myself say, "I will be there." I guess everyone has moments like that. Look for yours and good luck to coming over to the loosing side! Keith 310/214/???

Definitely normal Kennie. Try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off of it and relax a little bit. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Courtney 8 weeks out - 41 lbs

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!!! I am at peace with having the surgery, just I guess having the jitters that anyone would have!!! But I can not wait!! In all my dreams that I have, I am a skinny person, so I just know that this surgery is for me, to help with my health problems and to help me lose all this weight!! Thanks again! Hugs, Kennie

Thanks girl...I hope that you are feeling better!!!!!! Hugs, Kennie
