Surgery Date 03/14/12

[isntsheclever 38]

That's me! Anyone else? The insane nervousness has started to kick in! I've had surgery before... I had my tonsil out when I was 5, my mom thinks they used ether. And I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 19, and I know they had to put in an IV for that... But this still feels so scary! Don't get me wrong, I am super excited. But all the scary parts are starting to really kick in now, too. I haven't been great w/ my pre op diet. I have decided that today and tomorrow I'll do all liquids, though. Maybe my own version of penance, or some sort of self-made precaution... Part of me is glad that I have to work the next two days (for the distraction), part of me really wants to be at home 'preparing' and freaking out! lol

Do I have any surgery date buddies out there?

not a surgery date buddy (I'm 4/13) but I feel you about nervousness - I have thought a few times maybe I shouldn't do it or should have a different doctor but then i remind myself how much this will help me feel better and what I look forward to the most in losing weight and gaining health and I know I made the right decision!

I am trying to focus on that part, too.

I'm almost a surgery buddy as mine is the next day. I'm nervous as all heck too, so much so that my stomach has been a bit wonky the past few days. Good luck with your surgery!

I am pretty much in freak out mode this morning. I almost cried on the drive into work. And the nerves in my stomach are making it very hard to eat/drink. I wish I had taken today off so that I could just putter around my house packing and double/triple checking things.

Good luck to you as well!

Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure it will go wonderfully! I'm excited for you! My surgery date is the 15th, the day after yours. I did take my pre-op day off (tomorrow) because I think I will need to check & double-check things & get mentally prepared. Just think of how much better things will be for all of us 4 weeks post-op!
