The big day is tomorrow
So, I'm calling today my last "fat day" because tomorrow I'm going in and having surgery. So excited but yet very scared. I find myself wondering am I really ready for this? After months of classes and prep work and researching do I really know all there is to know about the surgery in order to make it successful? I'm sure or at least hoping that everyone goes thru the last minute anxieties. Any last minute pats on the butt or words of encouragement would be MUCH appreciative right now...

I'm guessing you know enough to go ahead with it. You'll keep learning as you go. You just have last minute jitters, which is normal.
Good luck. We'll save you a seat on the loser's bench.

You aren't alone with the last minute jotters, trust me! My last month I had them off and on and especially the day before and morning of surgery! I wanted to run out of that hospital room so bad!! But I just kept reminding myself that I made this decision over months of testing and talking and researching while I was in a more solid frame of mind. My first week post op was real hard mentally so I used that same reasoning to get through that as well. I am only 2 weeks post op and can already say that I think it was worth it! Good luck!!! And you keep learning every day after surgery, so you dont need to know absolutely everything there is to know beforehand. Everyone reacts differently and you will need to take time to figure out what works for you and what doesnt.
i'm also having surgery tomorrow! I am so excited about the future, just worried about doing it right. I have talked to so many people about this, and have been getting prepared for a few months now that I am ready for my journey to begin! Lori, it will be fine and so worth it. I don't feel that I know anywhere near enough about what to do after the surgery. But, this site and the Dr and NUT. will be there to answer any questions you have. I guess we have to take it one step at a time. Good luck! CIndy
