Sitting here waiting

Well, here I sit, nervous, anxious, and excited. I have all kinds of things running around in my head. I trust my surgeon but people do make mistakes, I'm so ready for this but at the same time worried something might go wrong. I've been trying to keep my self occupied but it has not seemed to help. I've got 2 days till my surgery, I'm on the liquid diet. Which means I can't use any food at all to cope, and I guess that will be true for the future as well. I've learned so many great things here,and also learned about the bad things. But I wanted to be well informed, and I think that was accomplished. I'm just trying to pass time till I move over to the other side, (I don't know if I like the way that sounds,being that I'm going into surgery and all :unsure: ). So I'll say til I wake up from surgery with my band and no complications(please,please). I'm glad to have this place to come back to after surgery to help me with the rest of my journey. Plus it's helping keep me busy so the days go by faster. I do have a book I read that helps I switch back and forth between the two. I wounder if other people were like this before their surgery. The closer it gets the slower it goes. I have been watching movies too. I think I need to watch another one. I know I am just rambling but I don't have anyone else to talk to right now. So that's when I blog. I think I'm done for now. I'm going to go eat some "soup" and watch a movie.

Awwww... I can relate! On this day two weeks ago, I was at the same point you are right now. I did the same, watched tv, read my book... and no food to cope with (except I chewed A LOT of different flavours of sugar free gum!!) It is a tough time, this waiting, but sooner rather than later you will be there and ready to go. I was VERY nervous, but things worked out fine, even though I did have a bit of a complication - which is RARE - and even so it was easily fixed and I am totally fine now. The first couple of days are a bit rough, but you will get through it and do well, I have no doubt!! hang in there :) and I know everyone will be looking forward to hearing your "after" story!

What you are feeling is perfectly normal! I had to work all weekend prior to surgery and when I got home I was so busy trying to get the house cleaned and laundry all done. Then I talked my mom's ear off on the way to the hospital and in the waiting room!

They will take great care of you and explain everything every step of the way until you drift off to sleep. Things will go just fine, take it one day at a time. You're going to do great! Good luck.
