I got a surgery date!!!!

Ok I have a surgery date and I am getting so scared!!! I keep getting all of these horror stories! I need all the good news I can get right now. I need this and want this surgery!! I start my liquids on the 10th for 15days then surgery on April 25th!!!!! Please help me out I am sure everyone feels this way before surgery right??? Thanks

Congrats!! I am halfway through my liquid diet phase and it is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My mother being a nurse has filled me with horror stories from things she has seen in hospital emergency rooms.

However, I have complete confidence in my surgeon, in my decision to have the surgery, and I understand the risks and benefits. This has helped me to be excited and confident about my surgery date and I hope my positive outlook and faith will keep my body strong and my surgeons hands steady. You will do great!!!

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. I was scared, anxious and nervous before. I'm happy to say that my surgery went well with no complications. The pain wasn't nearly half as bad as I thought it would be. So far I haven't had any problems drinking or eating pureed food. Just remember to get up and start walking as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Your feelings are normal. Trust in your surgeon and you will be just fine.

Congrats!  I am having surgery the 18th-  I started my liquid diet yesterday, it hasn't been that bad.... yes, I am a hungry, but I just drink, or eat a sf popsicle  etc....   I am scared, nervous, excited as well.... But from what I hear that is all normal!

Congratulations!! My surgery is on the 19th and I CAN'T WAITTTTTTTTTT. 
I am so excited.. I feel like life is on pause until that date.. Don't worry, you have made the right decision. 

Congrats! I am having a surgery April 11. I am also nervous, scared, and excited all wrapped into one........keep your focus on the good that will come of this surgery. A positive attitude can help weather many a challenge.....thinking of you!

congrats my surgery is april 12th. i am now on day 6 of my pre op diet and it really isn't bad at ALL, for me. The second day at night even though I wasn't even really that hungry I did have some bad growling and hunger pains but it was right before bed so I was able to go to sleep and ignore it. Otherwise I have been fine. Good luck to you and I too am extremely nervous but I keep reminding myself of all the benefits for every con that I let run through my mind.
