I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

I too have a July surgery date - July 24, which is truly a birthday present to myself since my birthday is on July 29. I will celebrating with chicken broth and sf jello !

I was.really exisited and scrated. I fully fell better.still at hospotal due begin to hold it down

Good luck you guys. I get sleeved in 4 days and counting. Excited that I will be leaving Orlando in 2 days still a little bit scared but I am ready.

I feel the same way. I have three children 17, 8 and 2. I am so excited but I am scared too. They do not know where I am going they only know that I am leaving in 2 days. I have never left my children, ever. So I am also plagued with a lot of emotions. However, I know this is something that I have to do to better myself and my health.

You guys seem do be doing ok idl y I'm having such a. Issue with pain b gas it just dont wanna leave my belly

I think any parent feels the same way. I was a mess the night before and opted to kiss them farewell in their sleep because if I woke them up I feared I would never leave for the hospital. I feel it is better to tell them something, especially the older ones who can understand. I think I have written this befor, but I have told my just 4 and nearly 2 yr old that I had a surgery to fix my tummy. My mother had her hip replaced two weeks prior to my surgery, so we had a good practice talking about the hospital and seeing pics of Grammy in the hospital bed etc. They have been concerned for my boo boo's but we have talked about it enough as not to scare them. They ask to see my inscisions everyday and they note the progress in healing. I know I made the right decision for all of us and I am glad they have learned a little about the hospital, healing, compassion and care taking along the way.

Sorry, I'm a novice at posting, I never know

Sorry if I put these replies in the wrong place. I'm a novice at these forums and answering. I am 5 days post op and am feeling ok. It's up and down, but for

The most part I feel okay. I am religious wih the pain meds though. Without them I feel a lot of pain. I too have a lot of gas in my belly and just general uncomfortable belly pressure. Yesterday I had my first bout of real nausea since the hospital. I couldn't figur out what caused it. R you taking your pain meds. Your doc should be able to give you some anti gas and bloating meds if too painful. I am also very weak from so little food. I am having trouble ( as I believe everyone does) getting ALL the fluids, proteins, vitamins and meds in. I feel constantly full. Hope it gets better quickly for us all :-)

Yea I taking dilauted and they do not work at all im in pain only when I get of the sofa and tolit I start crying and al where is the light at the end of this tunnel

The only thing helping me getting up and down from my bed it a chair to hold on to and a small pillow :-(

Surgery in the morning and I'm scared to death! When I had my hysterectomy, I woke up in the middle of it and I won't go into gory detail but I've had nightmares about it.... I know this will be worth it and I'm sure all will be fine... but as many times as I tell myself that, still scared like crazy

Rainygirl--the surgery should go very quickly. Mine was about an hour. The last thing I remember was the anesthesiologist telling me I was going to go to.....next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. It'll be ok. You'll be ok.
