Am due for surgery after 7 hours it is 3:20 am here n Australia. Couldn't get any sleep, very worried stressed, had a big fight with my husband, I am staying alone n the hotel and will go to the op by myself tomorrow. Left our daughter with him as well for her school. Missing her so much. I was expecting that she will b with me and will first face I see when I open my eyes. I didn't expect to be that Lonly in this big day. I am sorry for my depressive talking, but I am really very down and this place is only one I can find ppl to share. Plz pray for me that I can go throw this tough time and the op go well. I want to see my daughter again.

Call your husband, kiss & make up. Ask him to bring your daughter to the hospital so you can see her prior to surgery. Your mental stability is important so you have a positive attitude throughout. You're in my prayers. Good luck & God speed.

Be strong! My surgery is in a couple of hours too, and I am also alone at the hotel here in ! San Diego.

I'm sure your hubby only fought with you because he's nervous and worried. He'll be at your bedside, I'm sure.

You can do this! Be selfish and do this for YOU (rather than doing everything for your family, the way most of us women live our lives). If your health and happiness are good, everyone benefits!

Chin up, sleeve-sister!

Yes, call him and make up , it isnt worth your stress. You need your family there with you. Best of luck.

Thank u for ur advices I really should calm myself down, I am really excited for this op and hopping it will change my life for better. I think might have to be selfish even for day so I can overcome it. Keep mention me n ur praying

Hi stardust

I am in QLD I had my surgery last year with dr Greg Nolan he was fantastic.

It wasn't easy to have the surgery my husband was completely against it and didn't offer me any support. He didn't even call or visited me in the 4 days I spent in the hospital. He didn't even picked me up. I have to arrange for a cap to back home which is 100 km away from the hospital.

But I didn't care about all of that I knew that I had to do it for myself and my daughter.

I can assure u that I didn't have any complications at all even my health was very down all my tests wasn't good and my ECG wasn't normal, but all gone through fantastic.

I was able to drive straight away after I back home, I back to work a week after.

Just think about urself first keep going. If u need anything about the diet etc just text me. That will b my pleasure to help

Good Luck

Wow ! Good on you for being so strong ! I am so happy to hear from you

This is great that you went ahead with your operation .

You give me inspiration and hope xxxx

I know my husband loves me and cares for me .

Guess he worried .

A day away from my husband was perfect!

I got to clear my emotions and clear , focus my mind in a Hotel lol.

I am very eager to have operation and I thank you for special people like you that have the heart to reach out to people like me .

Hi

I hope everything is going well with u just keep urself positive it is so important for the healing and reaching ur goal.

I am sure ur husband is so worried it is a big operation, u just need understand his feelings, believe me men are not as strong emotionally as we r, but don't let that stoping u.

Of course they advised u about having the Protein shakes and Soup .

I have tried all shakes in the market the best I found for myself was kick start that the one they advice me to have. It is only available online if u wana try it tell me I send u the site.

Also if u on Skype u can add me amy200686 my Skype is always on my phone. As well I am a pharmacist so should u need anything I can help with plz let me know.

I wish u all the best. And keep n touch.
