Count Down To Surgery
Apr 15, 2007
My surgery is less than 2 weeks away and I'm scared, nervous, unsure and a bunch of other feelings. I should go to a support group meeting ASAP and start to prepare myself for before and after surgery. It's kind of sad because I don't have my family here, they are all back in Ohio, so I'll be basically taking care of myself. I just wish I really knew what to expect. I'm not scared of the actual surgery itself or I'm not scared or worried about if I'll be hungry or will I be able to handle the cravings because my diet will be so restricted. I'm not worried about any of that. What I'm WORRIED about is the pain. How much pain I will be in after the surgery bothers me A LOT. The pain of getting fills, etc. My freind just had her lap band surgery about 2 weeks ago and she told me it's not as bad I think it is. She's really a big help because at least I have some idea as to what to expect and she's really very supportive. I also have two other people in my life (Nieice&Shun) that support my decision to have the surgery and I know I can count on them for encouragement. Nevertheless, all the possbile side effects are the things that still worry me. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in order to get over this, but whatever it is, I better do it QUICK!
