Omfgmelly 56 Posted April 28, 2013 My surgery is in two days!!!! I'm so scared- it didnt hit until my friend mentioned it to me- TWO days!!!!! My sugars are still level, I get to do my zumba class one last time tomorrow and heading out to a Yankee game after work on Tuesday! Guys!!! I'm scared, especially bc my boyfriend won't be there :-/ he has work and I can't ask for him to take off bc he just started this new job. I have my box of tissues ready. How is everyone else coping? Or coped with having surgery for that matter! 2 spwlfd035 and kah1213 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted April 29, 2013 one step at a time, you have your blood sugar under control, now focus on what the goal is.. being scared is natural...it is alot to think about, but you can do this. I was anticipating something horrible but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought.. the first days will be trying but if you do what your Dr. tells you, especially drinking and moving you should do great... we will all be keeping you in our prayers..

Thank you so much for your words. god has helped me so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sp70 193 Posted April 29, 2013 Just remember to "breathe", you're going to do great! Sounds like you've made a lot of progress thus far. I am a week out and every now and then I start to get a bit nervous as well. I've waited so long for this, thought it would never happen and now it's almost here. Just trying to keep busy! Will be thinking of you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tawnya777 106 Posted April 29, 2013 I was really nervous before talking to my dr again. Now I feel more relaxed knowing that they will give me something to calm me down when I get to the hospital, since I know the car ride there will be my most anxiety. Good Luck on your surgery!!! I think that's four of us now having surgery on May 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aeromech 202 Posted April 30, 2013 You will do great, the surgery will be over before you even realize you were asleep. Just make sure to drink as much Water as your body will let you and move around regularly. Gas-X is a good tool also. Just keep it in your mind that everything will get better. 1 Omfgmelly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
