My surgery date was changed from 12-11-12 To 12-12-12........That seems to be the date of new beginnings.....Keep me in prayer please!

Finally sleeved and on the losers bench....12-12-12 is now my new birth date or at least 12-12 is....... Here's how things went: arrived at the hospital around 8:30 this morning....they immediately had me change into that weird looking gown with the butt out. A nurse then came in to ask several questions, check my sugar levels and give me a shot of lovenox to help thin the blood(hope I spelled it correctly) another nurse then came with a wheelchair and said she was taking me to the back to start my i.v. and get me ready for surgery....at that point everything became a reality and I began to cry. My husband who has been a great support told me it would be fine and reminded me of why I was doing this surgery...the i.v was started and within 15 minutes they rolled me to the operating room....now this room was freezing and there was at least 5 people with mask and scrubs preparing instruments and things of that nature.....a nurse then ask me to scoot on to the table and the anesthesiologist began telling me that he would be giving me something to calm my nerves..I asked him if that would also put me to sleep and he replied, "eventually".....lol next thing I know I was waking up in the recovery room.....I immediately ask for pain meds because it felt like menstrual cramps x2.......every since they put the pain meds in my i.v it's been smooth sailing......no nausea or gas pains and never once threw up or dry heaved.... My surgeon said I did great and there were no complications what so ever!!!!!! I give all the glory to God for such a wonderful experience and know that I'm not out of the clear yet but I trust in the lord and his greatness......if there's anyone getting the surgery soon and your scared or nervous, what I can say is that you have nothing to worry about....cast your cares on God and he will protect you.......God bless

@thenewme32 - if you don't mind sharing what you took for your headaches? I'm in the pre-op stage and I can't take my normal migraine medication because of the aspirin content. They gave me a new prescription to take every 4 hours but the meds wear out after two hour. In migraine hell right now :-((

Just saw ur post I took extra strength panodol and tyneol. Sister I feel u but believe it will get better!

I am 12.12.12 too! I can't wait!

How did it go. My experience was wonderful. I feel great but they tell me I can't lift more than 10 pounds.
