Hi I have surgery wed September 4 2013 and im so nervous I need support please

You will do great!! I enjoyed every pre-op minute as I've enjoyed every minute post-op! I can't believe I am 5 months out, it has been the best decision I have ever made in my entire life!!! You will really do great. My best advice, walk, walk, walk... I read this advice before my surgery and now I understand why it is the best advice, it helps your intestines to work again and the gas to come out. The sipping is also extremely important. Drink all day long, my mom would even wake me up to drink some more, she was terrified of me getting dehydrated, now I appreciate her not letting me sleep all day long!

C'ya in the losers bench !!!

Ask anything you want and we are all here to support you!

Thanks so much just wondering did anyone else feel like this was the wrong thing to do

I did 9 years ago when I first started thinking about RNY. However 14 months ago when I had surgery my mind was at ease and knew this was the right decision for my life. I had reached my breaking point when I could no longer wash personal areas in the shower. I knew then something must be done.

Why do you think you are having doubts?

Not sure I just think its my nerves but the more I talk to people and they reassure me im doing the right thing I feel better I know it for the best
