tami88 73 Posted January 22, 2013 It's getting closer and closer to 2/13. I remember when I first started posting it felt like a lifetime away. I am getting very nervous. Anyone else nervous? I am trying to just to stay calm. I know this is the right life tool choice for me. 1 Diamondeyed reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juny 93 Posted January 22, 2013 Yep I'm the same. I see people who keep saying they're excited like they're going to disney....I can't even comprehend that. I'm at the point where I'm just questioning whether or not I think I can do this. I'm looking at a lot of my life and thinking just how is this going to work?

Rycherchick 147 Posted January 22, 2013 Juny , what is your biggest fear is it the lifestyle change or the actual surgery itself? I cannot offer any sage wisdom because I myself am pre-op But I can do all the things I need to do post surgery in a snap, I am just having a hard time with actually going under. I have all the confidence in te world in my Dr but I just fear the unknown and HATE being conscious. SCARY! Maybe some others can talku down and make you feel better about it. I know they have for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosehips 121 Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, go to the topic SCARED OFF AND ON.....HELP. I too was scared, you will find mine and many other posts regarding just what you are feeling. Hang in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juny 93 Posted January 22, 2013 For me it's the lifestyle change I think, at least in the short term. I'm worried about everything from constipation/diarrhea and how to have lunch w/ my colleagues to serious complications and what if I make a mistake choosing this surgery. Mostly I'm resolved....But I've had a lot of time just waiting for the surgery date so a lot of doubt and worry has crept in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted January 22, 2013 For me it's the surgery in general and anesthesia specifically. I have an anesthesia phobia. Amanda Rae Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted January 22, 2013 I think it would be odd not to be nervous! I'm 2 days before you so will try to post my experience for you. I'm heading down to the Marriott the night before and I already asked if its okay to take Ambien the night before - yes, thank goodness! I think it helps that the next three weeks are really busy for me. It will be here before we know it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
