Surgery TOMORROW

Oh gosh, I am so nervous.

I've been trying to keep busy as much as possible, but I've been having stress heart burn and runs (it's nothing I ate or anything, it just happens when I'm super stressed).

My surgery is at 930am tomorrow. I am so worried that something will go wrong and I can't go through... I've followed all the rules and did my best, but... I am literally vibrating.

Good luck! It will be tough in the beginning, but just remember it is your health at stake. You will be fine, but prepare your mind and know you can do it!

I was just wondering what you were doing in Vegas. I came on here to check on you and omg...my stomach does the same thing due to stress/nerves. Nothing is going to go wrong, don't put that energy into the universe even if you think it. Put the energy out that, you are going to have a surgery that you are prepared to handle the pain and recovery process. Believe that you are worthy of whatever you envision and those will be your results with hard work and dedication. You are the only one physically going through this process, but you are not alone in this.

Besides, the rest of us January people need a very candid and detailed account from those of you before us. I live alone, so I need to know what to do and how to prepare my mind....

I'm doing better; I had to call my surgeon to make sure imodium was ok. I'm sitting watching TV and sipping water while I can- I have another 50 minutes before I can't have more until after.

I will keep y'all posted. I'm trying my best and I am very fortunate to have a lot of support, including you guys. It does make it feel so much better that I'm not alone in this.

The congratulations is because through all of the stress and panic, you made it through lady. Thankfully you had a team of professionals who helped you through the panic attack, praying for you and that pain.

Honestly (knock on wood), my back and throat hurt pretty bad, but that's about it. My throat because they did my endoscopy and leak test at the same time (I'm SO happy I didn't have to be awake for that). I'm up walking about every 30-45 minutes, and am super glad I can bring burps up pretty easy right now. My husband has to get me up to early every two hours tonight when I go to bed, so it's gonna be a long night.
