The Closer It Gets, The More Nervous I Am...

I'm so nervous, I don't know what to do! My surgery is on the 14th and I've told all the important people in my life about it. They are all supporting me and are excited. I, on the other hand, am as nervous as can be. I think that's what happens when you look at google too much. I'm being such a worry wart right now and keeping thinking that this wont work. But then I come to my senses and realize that this surgery doesn't fail too often, people fail the surgery. I think I just have jitters because my pre-op is tomorrow and I'm wishing all the ladies well for a smooth surgery and quick recovery. I'm also nervous that I'll lose friends because of this. They are supportive now, but will they continue to be? I'm glad I have all the wonderful people here in RNY for support in addition to my husband and our families.

I'm getting more nervous too my preop is Friday and surgery next Tuesday the 13th I am so nervous I don't even start my preop diet until mon that is so weird to me!!

I too have all the " freak out" emotions you guys are having here's my problem! I work in the operating room, have assisted on countless bypass surgeries. So this should be a no brainer for me! But I'm with everything you all are saying! Some very good ideas I will be trying, thank you for the fabulous ideas, wishing all of you success and a speedy recovery!

Lol. Good thing I'm not the only one that feels that way. Let's just be positive!! As much as we can...

I totally feel the same way peachee... I am two days out and have a blizzard of thoughts and worries going through my head. Thanks Dawn for the great perspective' date=' the letter idea is great and Eva summed it up well reminding myself to keep in mind why I am doing this. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. We'll all be on the losers bench soon and will need the support.[/quote']

Hi there eeyoregirl, waves at you and smiles . Tomorrow is the big day for us! I can't believe it's finally here. How are you doing? How was the liquid diet for you? Last few days on the liquid diet were tough I have to admit, I was soOooo STARVING. Today I met with my surgeon and we went over everything, he said all my tests look great. I'm looking forward to no more diabetes meds and a healthier lifestyle. I'm a little anxious today, but am excited about starting my new life. Today is liquids only Jello, Water, broth and crystal lite, I'm beyond hunger and I have a major headache. I have pictures of haircut styles and color I want after my surgery, also have pics of cloths And a sign on my fridge that says "don't reward yourself with food, you are not a dog" I'll be thinking of you and praying all goes well. Oh BTW I lost 18 lbs on the preop diet. Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP
