DuranFan1969 119 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm with you too - mine is on Weds so the nerves are starting to kick in a bit and of course, that little voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me to chicken out. Nuh uh - haven't come this far to do that. We can all do eeet! 1 new rich reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back~To~Amy 307 Posted June 10, 2012 Good luck to you all. I'm now 4 days postop and it has been an up and down journey. I've had moments of regret mostly because of unconteolled pain, but as I type this I have adequate pain control and no regret. Keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Back~To~Amy 307 Posted June 10, 2012 Oh and one more thing. Use this board. The people here are priceless. I've been here with several issues and there are always people here to help. Family and friends are great support, but cannot truly understand what you are going through like the people here can. That is, unless they've been through this too.

emily_0192010 168 Posted June 10, 2012 Breath! Smile! Think about how you are giving yourself the best gift ever. You are taking care of your health and your body and your mind and your spirit and the rest of your family (because they can't function properly without you!). You are going to do great!

New Orleans Lady 12 Posted June 10, 2012 I know what you mean about the nerves... I am trying to keep busy and not dwell on anything negative. I keep telling myself how things are going to be so much better with time after surgery. I am scheduled for June 13th and went for my pre-op appt yesterday. I'm all paid up now and there's no turning back... After reading everyone comments on this site, I feel very confident that I am dong the right thing. I fantasize about what it's going to be like in just a few short months, and I cannot wait to feel better. I am so looking forward to getting this done. I have been thinking about doing it for two years, and it's just a process to get to this point ....I started exercising again so that I can be stronger for surgery... I guess I will only do aerobic activity on the day before surgery because I don't need my body to be in muscle repair mode while I am trying to recover from surgery.. Good Luck to you all who will be having the surgery this week... I'll be rooting for you to have a complication free surgery and for you all to GET WELL SOON! My love to all....
