Unhappy Nervousness has settled In
I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday March 26th. My stomach has been in total knots today, I don't even want to know what it will feel like tomorrow. It's weird because I thought this day would never come and here it is around the corner and I'm freaking out ! I have read all the literature and watched the videos, I even watched a lap band surgery performed on You Tube, but still I'm nervous

Default Hey Florida Girl!
I remember feeling the same way, so all I can do is wish it to come quickly and for it to be over quickly and that you will be like Super Girl with nerves of steel!!

Will be thinking about you.

Lots of people (including me) will be thinking about you.

WOW its TOMORROW !!!

I wasn't scared until I layed on the operating table and I looked up at the lights.... I remember saying "I Love You Jesus" ..... Next thing I knew I was awake... and wanting a cheese burger b/c I was so hungry LOL hehehe.

Your gonna be just fine... remember the surgery is fast and you'll be home before you know it.

Just make sure you have some GasX - some clear liquids, jello and a prescription for pain when you leave the hospital (which alot of people don't use... I had to). Your gonna do wonderful.

Let us know when your home so we can give you some gentle

Aw, here's a big <<<HUG>>> for you! I'm one month out tomorrow and I know EXACTLY what you feel like. Take some time to write in a journal. I found that this helped me get a "handle" on what I was feeling. It's a big step and an awsome time in your life. Just relax and enjoy this time....
