Surgery Thursday - I'm Nervous

:help: Hi everyone,

I am so nervous because I have surgery Thursday morning. Can you please give me some pointers and reassurance that it won't hurt a lot, and that I'll be okay?????

Cassandra,

Trust me its a breeze, you'll take a short nap in the operation room, and then you will wake up to find yourself new person, a person who is going to lose all the weight, start a new life, become healthy, attractive, slim and SEXY...

Nothing to worry about, as a matter of fact I was soo happy as my operation time became closer, I was ready for the new (ME) to be born.

Best of luck, and again, Nothing to worry about:cool: :eek:

It'll be fine! I was so nervous and now I see what a huge waste of energy it was. It is no big deal at all. You will drift off to sleep and wake up feeling so much better than you think. Nothing scary! Remember why you are taking this step and that this is just a tiny part of the lifetime you'll enjoy with a healthier bod!

No worries!! I was banded today, and I'm feeling pretty good. Keep in mind you'll probably have a large dose of morphine when you wake up. I was out of the hospital by about noon today. I'm sore now, but it's like ab muscle sore, you know, when you do several situps etc. My doctor gave me liquid Hydrocodone, and it is quite nasty. It tastes like Robitussin (sp?)

Don't be worried!! I was so nervous this morning that my face was starting to splotch, something it has never done before. You'll do great. Just get plenty of sleep the night before, otherwise if you're super super tired, it's more difficult for the anesthesiologistto wake you up after surgery.

Best of luck, and tell us how it goes!!!
