I just decided it was something that was the in future...and it worked for me (and that's a first)! Try to put it out of your mind, otherwise you'll make yourself crazy! (I know, easy for ME to say)!

No, Vicki, I haven't worked in 10 years because of degenerative spinal disease. So, yes, I had myself to entertain during the wait. Bright colors cheer me up, too!

Of course that's what I meant!! What did you think???? I was like a kids waiting for Christmas...I just figured everyone was. My biggest problem was I didn't want to do anything, because I just wanted to get through life until surgery. I'd sit through ballgames thinking this is the first time I will have to sit here at 350+ lbs, or sit through a concert of my kids thinking maybe I will be able to fit in the seat. in Bama http://hometown.aol.com/mdl1031/myhomepage/profile.html Pictures- http://f2.pg.photos./Melleedawn Surgery- RNY to DS revision on12/6 -377.5 12/17 - 346.5 ( minus 31lbs) 02/12-330.0 (minus 47.5 lbs) 05/12- 304.8 (minus 72.7 lbs)-BMI now 48 06/22- 290.8 (minus 86.7)BMI 46.

Yes, , there is something to be said about being crazy-busy just before surgery, even if it does include having appendicitis in NYC!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 I think what she meant is that as kids, the week before Christmas we were all excited and restless and we couldn't wait for Christmas to actually be there.. You're giving yourself the biggest present of all right now, and of COURSE you're going to be thinking of this constantly! The wait can seem forever, I know it did for me. I got a sense of calm a few days before my surgery. Everything fell into place and I knew that I was doing the right thing. Your surgery will be here before you know it. It's only natural to be obsessed in thinking of the surgery, it was the only thought on my mind. We would be planning on doing things months and months in advance, and I would think, " Hmmm, so that would be x-amount of days after my surgery.. I wonder how much weight I will have lost by then " Try to relax and take care of as many things as you need to. Maybe read some good books if you need to take your mind of it.
