AlbertaMom - Getting Sleeved...

[albertamom 53]

I am not sure why I came here right now. I am actually packing for my trip tomorrow while my son is in the bath tub. Today seems like any other day really, except well I am done work for 3 weeks, I am leaving my family tomorrow to go to San Diego and on Friday I am having surgery... The strangest part is.... yes I am scared.. so scared.. complications, seriously not waking up and PAIN.. I worry breathing wont be comfortable or that I will regret it. I have been reading here and I hear the same worries and I know I am not alone. I think it is part of the journey.. I have been in the considering stage, the researching stage, the telling hubby (and hoping it wont think I am nuts), the finding the money stage, choosing a doctor and making it work for my family of 4. And through all the stages I was scared, worried and excited.. and with each stage I moved forward, I know this is the right choice. So I am going to try and embrace my worry and fears and allow them their moment, but I am not going to lose my excitement.. and when in doubt I am going to come here and write it down.... get it out and move on....

That's how i feel right now, give me an hour and I might be freaking out.... LOL

I started to get nervous the most once we arrived in San Diego. Once we arrived at Hospital MI Doctor I really didn't have time to think any more, thing were going so fast. My wife told me later she was getting nervous with everything going on. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and wish I would have done this sooner. Once you see the Hospital and the staff and see your taken good care of you will settle down. Good luck on your journey and if you have any questions, pm me.
