So tomorrow is finally the day.  As expected, I am nervous and excited all at once.  I know what a good decision I have made for myself and I am fortunate to have the best, most supportive husband and family that a girl could ask for (and one daughter is a nurse, and the other a dietician). .....BUT......there is always a but, isnt there?
As I mentioned before, my husband and I have had 7 deaths in the family in the last year and he also had a bad experience with anesthesia after a simple outpatient procedure so all of that has me  feeling more than the usual pre-surgery jitters.
I thought I was doing fine but then yesterday as I was chit-chatting with my hubby, I just burst into tears for no apparant reason. It was just awful and I couldnt stop crying. I was so exhausted after that cry but I felt alot better at the same time if that makes any sense......
Anyway, I just ask that you all keep me in your thoughts tommorrow as I take MY TURN at the bat and Ill see you all on the other side :)

Jan,

I will keep you in my thoughts, promise. You will be fine, it is totally normal to feel scared and nervous. Just take a deep breathe and tell yourself all will be fine and you are worth this! You will feel great on the other side!

You will be thought of and prayed for!  I have my surgical consult this coming Friday and am nervous myself to finally get that "date" sealed in my future.  It's been a long road this last year, going through all the classes and appts. needed to get to this point but i Know that this is the right decision for me. Surgery is scarey but i am more scared of my future if i don't get off this health path....  Good Luck and safe surgery!

Prayers are with you Jan! It will be over before you know it! I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I didn't have any complications with my surgery and I'm sure you won't either.

 ((Hugs)) to you.  I went through the same thing, and even as I was laying on the OR table with the oxygen mask on me I was thinking, "I can still stop this.  I don't have to go through with this."  But I did go through with it, and so far everything is going great.  You'll be fine, too.
