Well, I have 4 more days before surgery. I don't have much time to do anything before I go, I am working tonite, and tomorrow night (12 hour shifts) I will sleep all day monday, and tues. i leave for denver, so I can be there wed. morning. I was soooo excited to do this, and now I find myself getting very nervous, wondering if I am doing the right thing. I have never been afraid of surgery before, so i dont know what is wrong with me. I know I NEED to do this, for my health, and my little boy. I was having second thoughts, then tonite I passed a glass window with my profile (full length) in it, and knew I could not turn back now. I dont want to spend the rest of my life this heavy. (or heavier). I have been really lax on what I have been eating for the last 2 months when I knew I was going to get this surgery, and have gained 10 pounds! You wouldn't think 10 pounds would make a difference (never did to me before, 5, 10 whatever, not enough to notice) but this time, I can really tell a big difference--the way my closthes fit, my belly seems to have a overhang that wasn't there 10 pounds ago. Well, I guess this is just like last minute wedding jitters--I mean something that is going to be so life changing. I am really amd at my dh, he is not emotionaly supportive at all, and today he asked me "when is your surgery again?" ARUGG! I tell him "wednsday" he says "Wed?? why didnt you tell me sooner?" um, I told you when I found out, how much sooner did you want to know? I told him he is of no support to me, he cant even remember when i am going in, and what if god forbid I should die? he say "Your not gonna die, this is not a big deal operation" um--since when? I told him, sorry to dissapoint you, but this is major surgery, even if it is laprascopic. He doesnt think so. Thank god I have my parents and sister for support. I have a feeling he will be going bye bye real soon. (as in I am not going to take his sh*% any more) He has a very slim chance of redeeming himself over the next couple of weeks! Well, I have rambled on long enough, I gotta get back to work. Thanks AMOS for the ear!

I also have the same surgery date Sept 26th. I also have founded a support group so that we can go through this transistion together. If I have already invited you I ask you to reconsider and join the fun. We are giving each other some great last minute tips and will join in a big chat the eve before our surgery. Once you join then you can send invitations out to family and friends who needs some advice and support during this journey to the otherside. If you are a inactive member I ask you to give us a holler an don't forget to check in when you return home. Each and every person having surgery with me will be on my prayer list when I am going into surgery. I hope to hear from you soon. E-mail me at [email protected] for more information. God Bless and Be Well Vanessa

Michelle, best wishes for your upcoming surgery. I had mine last November, and I have never had a single regret. One thing that may help to remember is that the nervousness is over with when you wake up in the recovery room to your new life.
