Well here I am the night before surgery! I am totally freaked out! I am so scared and nervous and thinking "What am I doing?" I want this surgery and I want to be healthier!! I wanna be able to get on the floor and play with my grandkids and I wanna be able to go up the stairs without huffing and puffing! I am so scared of the surgery and possible complications. I am looking forward to losing weight and dropping sizes and I am committed to it. But that doesn't ease the nerves! I have been praying everyday (I do anyway) for a safe surgery and speedy recovery! I cant wait to be on the losers bench and start telling everyone my milestones! I have down 150 pounds as my goal weight, but I keep thinking I can do better than that! Maybe 140 or 135! I love going on cruises and it would be awesome to wear shorts, which I never do. I wear cropped pants mostly, but I want to be able to wear shorts and be nice and cool! Hopefully, by time we go on our cruise in September I will have a pair of shorts to wear! I also want to go snorkeling. I always watch from the boat because I feel too big to snorkel. I just wanna get in the Water and snorkel too! I'd like to go on a city tour as one of the excursions, but we never have before because there is too much walking, so come September hopefully I will be able to do these things on our cruise. When I think of all of these things I want to do when I lose weight, I remember this is why I'm doing the surgery!

You're doing great, Vicki! Everyone is nervous before surgery. I had mine a week ago. I just had to keep reminding myself why I was doing it. Honestly, I didn't want to keep going on as I was doing. I know there are risks and I accepted that with the hope that I will really be able to live my life as I would like! We miss so much. I know exactly where you are at. I just decided I wasn't willing to live as a bystander anymore. Sounds like you have decided the same thing! . Good luck tomorrow! Keep remembering your great reasons and don't panic.

Kcamp...I'm doing better, thank you for asking. I just called and for my surgery time. Its tomorrow at 1pm, so my arrival time is 11am. I'm feeling much better knowing that there's a high probability of my "stroke level" blood pressure decreasing, my diabetes being resolved and my severe back pain subsiding.

How are you?

[kimybelle 8]

Good luck in surgery I hope and pray all goes well

Good luck in surgery I hope and pray all goes well

Kimybelle, thank you!! I have confidence in my surgeon and know she'll do everything to ensure a healthy and full recovery.

Thanks for everyone's concern and best wishes. You guys are the outside support I needed! I have the overwhelming support from my husband, two children and my folks. But it's nice to have other support systems. Thanks again!!
