Hi,

I have been lurking hear a little while and learning so much from everyone's stories. I am scheduled for 12/28 for my VGS and am so excited yet nervous as well. I am an RN and while I know what to expect surgically, I can't seem to calm the nerves. I know this is what I want. I have worked hard to get approved as we all do. I just want to be able to take a deep breath and relax. Lol... No such luck...

Happy Holidays to everyone and positive thoughts to everyone who is starting their new journey!!!

I feel the same way! I have surgery on 12/27/2012! Hang in there you'll do great! Keep me posted on your progress.

I am scheduled to have surgery on 12/28.... I agree this is nerve racking and nervous energy.... It makes me wanna eat everything and im on the pre-op diet have been pretty good a slip up here and there but for the most part have been on the liquid diet.... My fear is that my liver isnt small enough and i will not be able to have the surgery.... Its crazy to think like this but i cant stop thinking about all the what if's because its soooooooo major and reading all these forums is educational and yet scary... I have waited almost 9 months and im days away from making a lifetime commitment.... I have to trust God and pray for the best. Best Regards to everyone that are having doubts anxieties fears and un sure if this is what you need to do, but do nothing is worse and could cause you to have more major health problems or death!

I'm a RN too! I have found 4 RN's here in the last few days that are having surgery at the same time. 4 days to go for me. We got this.
