Congratulations Carrie on your upcoming date! I've had several surgeries and lived to tell about them all...ha, ha. Fortunately, I'm not scared at all about the surgery. You'll be just fine - plus you get really great medication that will relax you afterward. Just keep a positive, can-do attitude and you'll come through with flying colors!
Best wishes.
Thomas and Renee
Carrie, good luck...I had never been in the hospital myself prior to my OPEN Rny in August of 2002, you should read how scared I was on my profile. You have done the research, trust your self and your dtr and you will be fine! Email me if you have any questions. heather (open rny 8/15, 305/214/150).
