Lilbluebug 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Hi, I'm Kara. I am being sleeved in 5 days ( 9/7/11) here in Washington state. I'm super nervous, but looking forward to just getting it done. I've gotten such great info on this site, been lurking for awhile, finally decided to just introduce myself and say Hi! Someone, please tell me that the pre-op jitters go away!!! That's my biggest issue right now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jillw8 22 Posted September 2, 2011 Welcome! I just got my sleeve on Tuesday. I of course, had the jitters too but once I was actually at the hospital is when it left. I was prepared, educated, and ready. Jitters are normal! You will do great! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SittingPretty 16 Posted September 2, 2011 Hi Kara-ann! I'm in WA too but my surgery isn't until the 19th. You will do GREAT! If you don't mind me asking, which Dr. are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilbluebug 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Hi! I'm having my surgery at Madigan Army Medical Center with Dr. Martin. I have heard from the support group that he is good, and he seemed nice when I met him. -kara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony666 0 Posted September 2, 2011 I wish i could say the jitters go away, but I'd be lying. At least mine didn't, until I was rolled into the OR. Then I knew I had made the right decision. Best of luck, I was just sleeved Monday, with no one here for moral support and I made it through. You will, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
