Good luck to both of you! I'm sure you will be just fine, since the doctors and nurses really do take excellent care of you. I completely understand about being nervous and excited at the same time, and let me tell you that the waiting is definitely the worst part about the whole procedure.

I'll be thinking of you both tomorrow and sending good vibes your way!

Thanks so much Mrs. M,

I am sure the waiting will be numbing. I am going thru SIOS and I am so happy with the team there and the surgeon - makes everything alot easier that is for sure.

regards

Striver,
That is so neat that were having surgery on the same day. I will be thinking of you and saying a little prayer for your quick recovery.
Mrs M,
Thank you for your kind words of wisdom. I look forward to being in your position one day and giving some encouragement of my own.

Good luck to both of you!

I was so stressed beforehand that I also questioned why I put myself in this situation. You'll be fine, in and out before you know it.

Good luck everyone. You will be fine.

I too have been suffering the anxieties this past weekend. I miss eating at this point; I am sick of this optifast! It's making me quite weak and very very tired and personally I am over it. If I could get through this week drinking green tea without the opti, I would! I look forward to a decent meal

Striver and Labec hugs to both of you. I will be thinking of you and hoping that your recovery will be fast. I will be looking out for your updates.

Wow! Thank you everyone so much for your support. I am so nervous tonight....not to mention starving.:) But coming on here and seeing these replies and realizing that I am not alone has helped tremendously. I am not from Australia and am not quite sure how I wound up on an aussie thread but sure am glad I did! Thank you again and I will post again soon to let everyone know how it went. M, good luck tomorrow I will be praying for you girl!

We Aussies open our arms to anyone and everyone.

Nearly there!!

Just sending good vibes to you both, and everyone else who's surgery is coming up.

I was spun out too - but I am so much more comfortable out the other side :)

labec1130 · 02-19-2008, 06:11 PM
