August 2013 Roll Call

[gia24 85]

I'm having second thoughts I need some support i am scared to death I am going to die!!!! But I am young and should heal quickly!!!! I have been crying all day of the fear of the pain....nausea.....and blood clots!!!!!

Aww, I have moments like that, but you have to think about why though started this journey to begin with, what are the risks of you not having wls? I'm scared of dying too but, I'm scared more of not doing this and not having a good quality of life or being able to be an active participant in my life or my kids, and husband. You'll be ok. Just breathe and if you need to ask for some anxiety meds to calm you down a little. Good luck!

I too am still worried about blood clots....the thought terrifies me. As for the nausea, my surgeon prescribed a scopolamine patch for nausea. I have to put it behind my ear the night before surgery. I just keep telling myself it will be okay

I know what you mean!! I feel the same way!! TODAY especially because TOMORROW is surgery!! OMG I can't believe it's here!! I am unable to focus on anything else. My body doesn't hurt just cramping and I know it's because I'm nervous.
