Scared and Nervous

[mjchristy 0]

My surgery is Wednesday and is fastly approaching! I am terrified and excited all at the same time! I have had several surgeries in the past but I am terrified of this one. I keep thinking something bad is going to happen. I know it probably won't but I am just exhausting myself emotionally for this surgery. The only reasoning I can come up with for this is that I have children now and it is optional surgery! And on top of all of that I woke up with a cold this morning! I am praying that I get better soon! I also have not lost that much weight on my preop diet which really stinks! I was hoping for 20 lbs to add to the 20lbs that I had already lost but I guess that isn't happening! Yes I did cheat a couple of times but not badly! However, still I wanted a good jump start! Thanks everyone for listening!!!

Uh oh... you better call your surgeon's office to let them know you have come down with a bug.

Other than that, yes the surgery is no walk in the park, but anyone can get through it! All the best.

I agree with lilmiss if you have a cold you may need to postpone surgery... you do not want to be getting over a bug and recovering from surgery.

Hope you shake the bug SOON.

The emotional roller coaster you are on right now is perfectly normal. I sure know I went through it. It'll be here before you know it and you'll be on your way to a new wonderful life. Best of luck.

If I read that correctly, then you are having surgery today! GOOD LUCK! I think everyone goes through that scared and nervous emotion, and don't forget that there is a LOT emotion just surrounding WLS itself. I can totally relate to how you are feeling!

I hope everything went well today. Update us when you can.
