I been wanting this for a long time each time I get a surgery day go through all the work and back out bc I’m terrified. I feel like idk if I’m making right choice! I’m scared I’m not going to wake up for surgery! I got the endoscopy please tell me it’s just like that the feeling going under. I got my appendix and gallbladder out 5 years ago is this the same as how they put me out? I feel like I’m counting down until my last day! Been talking to my drs about how I feel but said I would be fine and wouldn’t do it if they didn’t think I was a good candidate! I also think the date I’m getting it is killing me this is how I think!! My uncle who was practically my father passsd away 2 years ago and surgery date is his birthday and I just get crazy thoughts what if surgery goes wrong. And something happens on his birthday I’m crazy I know been talking to dr!!

I think its natural to be nervous. The only person who knows if you're making the right decision is YOU! You can do this and all of us will support you. Just think of the outcome [emoji4]

Thanks can’t wait for the outcome! I keep thinking about it always have a problem fitting in clothes and I just cannot wait to go shopping and not have to worry about the sizes and if it will fit!

Exactly....focus on more positive things and everything will work out. My surgery is only five days away. I'm anxious and excited. I'm doing this so that I can be around for my grand-daughter. It's because of her that I made this decision...carrying her one day had me breathing hard, my legs and back were hurting. I want to be healthy for her!

My VSG is scheduled the same day as yours. I’m also anxious and excited but I’m trying to focus on all the reasons I want this so much. And getting things done so my home is clean and organized when I get home from the hospital.

Your Uncle would want you to be strong and healthy. You’ll be so happy to be on the other side. You’ve got this.

Hey surgery twin! Yes, this weekend is my time to get my house "in order". I need to pick up my clear liquids for Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. I was concerned that I haven't lost a lot during my pre-op diet, but I've been reassured I'm on the right track! See you on the loser's bench

Surgery triplets!!!! A little nervous, but really excited about this next step in my life.

I’m 2 days after you! Going under is the easy part! I have had 13 different surgeries in my life & lots of other things I have been put out for. I always sing [emoji445] I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones to the doctors before I go under. I’m sad because I just realized I won’t be able to have my “last meal” the night before because of the liquid diet! I always stay up late & eat something crazy like ice cream or Froot Loops the night before!!!!


Toodles,
Rue

Countdown has officially begun. House is in order and I have my clear liquids for Tuesday. I'm planning to pamper myself on Tuesday [emoji4][emoji6]

Good luck browneyez42!

Thanks I’m so excited just nervous!

Sorry for the confusion, my surgery date is May 14th. I’m getting “butterflies” whenever I think about it, still trying to focus on getting stuff done.

Do you have to do a pre-surgery diet? I do 3 shakes and one Lean Cuisine a day for two weeks, but I’m starting on Saturday. It’s getting sooo real.

I’m May 14th too!

I'm doing two to three shakes, broth, jello and/or sugar free pudding with lots of water.

That’s the day my surgery is scheduled, I am excited and nervous also. But I am ready for the life style change.
