Nadine, It is only natural to be worried. I was totally focused on my surgery for weeks in advance and spent much of my time on these lists. You have a great surgeon, and you will do fine, but that encouragement still will not keep you from worrying. so, keep in touch with us. --Steve -- Steve Goldstein, age 61 Lap BPD/DS on May 2, 2001 Dr. Elariny, INOVA Fairfax Hospital, Virginia Starting (05/02/01) BMI = 51 BMI on 09/18 = 41 (-66 lb.)

I just had my surgery on Sept. 5th and like you, being a pre-op was torture! The waiting is the worst part. But, it sounds like you're ready so think happy thoughts and try not to dwell too much on the negative. I know that is easier said then done. Good luck and see you on the other side!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 > I am three weeks away from the surgery date Of Oct 2 ND 2001 and I am really afraid Hi Nadine - I remember exactly how you are feeling. My office is unique in the fact that everyone I work with had a big countdown going for me - every day was a new " special " sign counting the days....they were all sooo excited for me. In fact two of my co-workers went to NY City with me and my parents for the surgery!! I remember feeling almost sick to my stomach because the nerves were getting to me sooo much. I also remember questioning if I was doing the wrong thing and wondering how I could tell all of my friends and family that I was having second thoughts. I think they all felt my frustrations and rallied beside me in their own special ways!! Don't be afraid Nadine - everything will go well!! If you would like to get together some day before your surgery - I would love to meet you. I live in the Milford area. Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
