Worried about christmas
on December 15, 2010 7:21 am
I'm just wondering if everyone else is as worried about Christmas as me?  I guess this is for the people that are getting the surgery this month. I'm so spazing thinking that I am going to be sick or hurting on Christmas and ruin it for my kids. Plus my family counts on me to cook Chritmas dinner and Idk if I can do it this year.  I am so stressed about it that I called and was going to post pone my date. Then I had to remind myself this is my Christmas gift to me and I really have to hope for the best. I am also spazing because I havent found anyone that can drive me home yet.  My husband is out of paid vacation days plus he is scared to death of hospitals. My mom has to take my dad into a different hospital friday for gallstones. All of my friends have work........ I just don't know what I am going to do. I will come up with something I always do  It just seems like there is so many bumps in this road to surgery.

Well I had my pre-op today ........ I was there for 4 and a half hours. The days just don't seem to be going by fast enough for me now. I want the 17th to get here so I can stop thinking about it all the time.

I have my surgery date but my husband didnt seem...
on November 21, 2010 11:04 am


I was called on friday Nov 19,2010 they told me I was approved and we set my surgery date for Dec.17,2010 I was so happy. I called my kids and told them they cant wait for me to get it done. When my husband came home from work I told him....... to my dismay he just shruged it off. I keep asking him wasnt he happy for me and he said whatever. By this time I was ready to cry.I begged him to tell me what was wrong and then he told me that I was going to change and he thought that I would leave him. He said he would still be the same but I would be different. I tried to tell him yes I would be different but my feelings would still stay the same but that did little to comfort him. I dont know what to do. I know I need a good support system at home if I want my surgery to work. Does anyone have any ideas or anyone have to go through this before??

My Story

Ok here is my story, I have been trying to get weight lost surgery for about 2 years now. It seemed like all the odds were stacked againist me then I got a phone call saying I was approved.  The call came in on Nov.19,2010 and my surgery is set for Dec.17,2010 . I have type 2 diabetes , sleep apnea, and high cholesterol, My hopes for getting weight loss surgery is that I can come off  my medications and live a normal heathy life.  I have 4 kids that depend on me and I want to be here for a long time .I am scared and nevous about having surgery I want to find people that has been through this and that are going through it now to help me out.  Once my surgery is done I will gladly help out others that have the same fears I do.
