Anxiety is kicking in

I'm at the hospital signing consent forms, and thoughts are just going through my head 100 mph.

Blood pressure was 150/98, the highest I have ever seen it

deep breaths you will be fine, it a new begaining for you, I can tell you, its the best thing I have ever done for myself, wish I had done it earlyer

Exciting stuff, right!?

I can ascertain from your previous posts that you are a highly spiritual person - perhaps you can find some peace of mind and calmness through your faith.

Hang in there!

I feel so much better after praying, and reading the entire in full. I've never had surgery and I've gained a lot of information through this site, thanks

I am with you man I haven't had surgery before either. I am sure I will be a nervous wreck but most important is just to stay calm and get to worked up about it. Everything will be fine.

Im a wreck too surgery is a day and wake up away for me all sleevers are in my prayers

I had never had surgery before - or ever been in the hospital for that matter!

But it actually wasn't bad at all - it was like time travel!! One minute you're relaxing on a table, the next you're waking up and someone's shaved your damn belly!

You guys will do great - be excited, you are taking control!!

Hahah well if that's the worse thing we have to deal with is a shaved belly then I can deal with that. I guess I could just beat them to the punch and do it ahead of time. Thats the good thing about the drugs they give you to put u out. Makes everything go by quick

Seriously that was the worst part for me - super itchy!

Don't shave it yourself though, they prefer to do it so that it's the proper length (they don't shave it smooth because they don't want ingrown hairs, cuts or infections around the incisions).

They could have at least continued to trim further south, just so things would be more proportionate though! Oh well, at least NOW I can see down south and do it myself!! B)

Yea I am sure that it was itchy. I guess your right I better leave it to the professionals. So I don't do something they don't like.

I am sure that is a plus being able to see down south and not like cutting off your airway to try and trim things up hahaha.
