Omg....surgery tomorrow morning, and Im terrified!

[vicki s 146]

I know this is redundant on this site, but I am terrified!! I feel like cancelling this surgery...this is my 3rd time around as some of you know and Im scared of the surgery, and of failure...this is my last hope, I did do well with the band, until it prolapsed and then gained 40 lbs back...but the sleeve did not work for me, so is the 3rd time a charm....Oh God I hope so...I just want to start living my life again...Im not a spring chicken anymore, I will be 57 in Nov...The surgery itself scares the crap out of me, but the though of failing again is just as scary.....Im suppose to be eating my last solid food this morn..for weeks and I dont have an appetite...Ha...isnt that ironic....

Sorry for the complaining, I am just really really scared...

Being scared is all normal, and since you have had other procedures you know what the drill is... you are going to be fine. This surgery WILL work !! But you have to put your best foot forward as well, diet and exercise are key to the success Hang in there you will be so happy after I promise.

Sorry everyone, still not 100% sure how these things work....I am doing well, the only new thing is I have developed a really nasty rash on my stomach below the panty line, I have never had this and it started a few days after surgery, not sure what it is, it itches terribly, the doc thought it might be some sort of allergy, but now Im beginning to wonder if it is the "fungal rash" I hear everyone talk about since the cortizone cream didnt help...anyone know about tummy rashes,,,other than that, Ive lost 10 lbs, I am doing puree, I still get tired at time and I still get hungry,,,grrrrrr......Im so glad you asked about me, How are you doing?
