Hi sweetie! I have my surgery scheduled (lapRNY) on September 3rd. I know just how you feel. While I do have wonderful support from my husband and kids and some family members, others including my best friend are COMPLETELY freaked out. My sister-in -law is convinced that I am going to die during surgery. WHAT A THING TO TELL ME! And she was one of my strongest supporters in the beginning. But as I told a co-worker today: The nay-sayers are just making me stronger and just make me research this surgery more and I just get more convinced that God has placed me in the right spot. I am doing exactly what I need to do and so are you. You are not being selfish! Like me you just want to get well so you CAN be there for your daughter. God bless and good luck!
