Oddly calm right before surgery...

Hey All,  I have surgery this Monday and I feel very calm...I wonder if my nerves will kick my behind tomorrow....

uck...and I have to do the whole cleansing of my innards tomorrow...

Gonna be worth it...I just know it...

You'll be fine...is there someone who can post for you afterward to let us know how you are doing?

Enjoy the calm. It's meant to be.

Before I decided to have WLS I thought I would ******vous wreck right before the surgery.  But I wasnt....I had thought long and hard and was as prepared as possible and knew that it was the right decision for me.  Normally I get VERY anxious when it comes to anything medical....I had never been in the hospital before and needles freak me out.  I am so glad I wasnt an anxious mess and I wish you the best of luck.  I will say this though....during the first 2 weeks I did experience a few "what the heck did I do???" moments....and my anxiety did flare.  BUT, not since those weeks have I ever thought that again and now at almost two years out sometimes I forget I even had WLS.  It is amazing to have gotten healthy and to be "normal" sized.

Please post on here when you need to and good luck!!

Blessings,

Jennifer

I was calm.  I had been through several surgeries before so I knew what to expect and I was ready.  The day before with clear liquids I thought I wasn't going to make it through.  Around 3pm I was so hungry but I just kept drinking and remembering why.  Get past 3 today and you will be fine.  Lots of broth and high sodium drinks because you need to fluids going into surgery. 

Here's to a textbook surgery and a boring recovery.  I'm scooting down on the losers bench for you. 

I was calm like you right before my WLS too. Determined but calm.
