Dear Mary P.
I know how you are feeling!!! My surgery is 8/22/03 (this coming friday) I can't do anything with out thinking about the surgery and if I am making the right decision. It has been a roller coster of emotions for me. But, everytime I feel like backing out I think about those rollercosters in real life that I can't ride on because I can't fit in the seat! or the plane rides to see my mom in california where I don't fit in the seat belt and need to use an extender, it is all so embarressing ! I will make this work for me! I have to make this work for me! If you really want it, you will make it work for you (that's what I keep telling myself). Think of one thing you REALLY want to do and can't because you are to fat. Consentrate on losing the weight so you can do that activity. For me I want to white water raft down in Grand Canyon! We went to the canyon last year and because of my size all I could do is look over the edge and dream of being able to feel the cool water splashing my face! I want to swim with out being the BIGGEST on on the whole beach. Yes, I think I will make this work for me! Hopefully you will make it work for you! I wish you all the luck in the world, have a non-eventful surgery, and a quick recovery! See ya on a rollercoaster!

Mary, my surgery is on August 27, I know how you are feeling. I am at the point I want it over and done with. You will not fail, you have come this far. You made a major step in your life to improve herself. Just continue to reach for that inner person that wants to come out. (the new you). It is natural to think of these different topics, I was told. Just take it one day at a time. My prays will be with you for a speedy recovery and enjoyable life after. (((24/7))) ..... Mary J
Topic: 8/27 is a week away......
Well my day is approaching very fast. Who would of believed I have made it this far. I have been keeping my self busy, even to the point I attended a fund raiser for The American Cancer (Breast Cancer Division) this pass weekend. I enjoyed my self, ate reasonable. I ended up winner 2 sets (4 tickets each) to see a play this coming week. What a way to relax the a week before the Surgery. I will be bringing my main support members to the play. It surprised them all when I asked them to go.
One major weekend to come. Family get together. Lasting impressions of the heavy me.
I have been feeling nervous lately, but from recent support messages I am told it is normal. I am finding it is fun to go through my old clothes and packing them for a flea market sale, set for September. There are a few regular buyers that know I have large clothes and look for me. I am saving the clothes for them to purchase. So, I can buy some new ones later on.
I want to "THANK EVEYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND PRAYS.". I will post again later this week. Take care and (((((24/7))))

My surgery is a week away. I'm being overwhelmed with feelings of why am I doing this..to what if I fail and don't lose any weight. Has anyone else experienced these type of feelings. Please write me at [email protected]. Thanks and God Bless.
Topic: August 21st here I come!!
Well I am down to the final count down. I am surprisingly not nervous, but I am tired of work. I can't think of all this useless paperwork right now.
Thank you everyone who has posted all of this information online. For the past few weeks I have been spending a lot of time reading through all of the questions and answers. I feel like I am more prepared for the surgery and any potential risks by hearing everyone else's stories.
Wish me luck and I will do the same for you!
Topic: RE: Pain meds question?My RNY surgery date is August 19
Nell,
I took pain meds in the hospital right after surgery by doctors orders. When I went home I never took any pain meds at all. (I have the meds but I had NO PAIN!) I was a little sore but that was about it. Hopefully you will have the same reaction.
Good luck
