Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 all the way up to when i was laying on the surgery table, they put the mask over my mouth and I was still asking myself if I should do it.............I think they know this, nobody said a word to me about the wonderful drugs that where seconds away from entering my arm through the IV.........I felt a warm feeling in my hand.........then I woke up in recovery. I was very nervous, from what I hear almost everybody is......The doctors kept telling me that they start to get worried when somebody is not at all nervous about what is about to happen. I am very sorry that your husband is not behind you, he may be threatened by the thought you getting thin and HOT! When you wake up in recovery you will feel so much better, I had this feeling like.........wow, that was what I was so scared of?? Take care Stacey, good luck, you will do fine. Mike in CA Surgery on Thursday Hello, I have not posted much on this board, mosly because I have a 3 year old that no longer takes naps! I go in tomorrow for my preop and surgery on Thursdays. I have so many people asking me if I am excited. Well I am not. I am very nervous. Do most feel that way. In the back of my mind, I am still wondering if I can go through it. The main reason I am concerned if for my 3 year old. We are together all the time and I can't imagine going a week without seeing him. I know this will be hard on him. We are in Germany, so far from family. I wish I had my family close by. I think that might help. My husband is not that supportive, he just does not get it. He is already trying to get out of bringing my son up to see me in the hospital. I know that I will feel better once I am awake and know that everything has gone fine. I think I will get excited once I start losing some weight. THanks for listening. I will let you know how is goes. We are a very active support group.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 , My son was three last year when I had the surgury also. I too had concerns about being away from Keegan due to the fact we spend alot of time together. When I went in for surgury I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. When my nurse walked in, she reminded me of my deceased mom of two years, I had a peace come over me and I knew everything was going to be ok. I had surgury on Sept 13, 2005, this march I went outside and jumped on the trampoline with my son and cried like a baby when he told me I was no longer to old to play with him. We had the best day that day and he kept telling me how nice is was to have his mommy play with him for the first time. I have tears right now thinking about it. Everyone makes their choice about having this surgury for one reason or another. It took me 2 1/2 yrs to get pregnet with Keegan, fertility drugs and all. I was an insulin dependent diabetic. 2 weeks after surgury I was off the insulin. It was the best choice I've made in my life other than having my son. Now I bike ride, roller skate, slide down the slide, and just about anything that he wants to do. I'm not embarressed or feel like I ppl will say what is that fat lady doing dont she know she is to big to be doing those things. I'm not going to lie to you, this is not the easy way out and if any one tells you it is they are lying to you. I moarn food on a daily basis. It is a life style change not to be taken lightly. You have to follow all your doctors rules to stay healthy. Make sure you can do everything that is required! Good Luck to you and I hope you find your peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement. I am starting to feel better. I have spent the day getting organized around here. I am currently eating my last meal pre surgery (soup). I am feeling more at ease for the moment. All I have left to do is pack. Who knows if I will be able to sleep tonight. Thanks again! > > all the way up to when i was laying on the surgery table, they put the mask over my mouth and I was still asking myself if I should do it.............I think they know this, nobody said a word to me about the wonderful drugs that where seconds away from entering my arm through the IV.........I felt a warm feeling in my hand.........then I woke up in recovery. > > I was very nervous, from what I hear almost everybody is......The doctors kept telling me that they start to get worried when somebody is not at all nervous about what is about to happen.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you so much for your words of encouragment. I do so want to be healthy for my son. I am concerned that I may pop something in my mouth off his plate out of habit. Was that a problem for you? Or once you have the surgery are you totally aware of what you are eating? Thanks again for the reply. > Hello, I have not posted much on this board, mosly because I have a 3 > year old that no longer takes naps! > > I go in tomorrow for my preop and surgery on Thursdays.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Stacey, You are very aware of what you take in. I made the mistake of trying chinese food to soon, it was the worst sick I have ever been. I promise it only takes one time for you to learn your lesson. staceyneubig wrote: Thank you so much for your words of encouragment. I do so want to be healthy for my son.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi , Thanks for the posting your feelings! Now I know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. The one encouraging thing for me is almost everyone says they would do it again. I wish you all the best and prayers to your family. > Surgery on Thursday > > > > > > Hello, I have not posted much on this board, mosly because I have a 3 > > year old that no longer takes naps! > > > > I go in tomorrow for my preop and surgery on Thursdays.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 !!! I'm so excited for you!!! You will do fine Hun!! As far as your hubby goes try this....... try telling him I want you to bring our 3 year old to the hospital. I NEED to see him and he needs to see me. If he tries backing out tell him sorry this isn't up for debate. I NEED to see our son. I'm doing this for him and for you so I can be a healthier person, wife, & mother. Trust me when I tell you, I know how hard it is to deal with a difficult husband. This is just my opinion, I tend to butt in were I don't belong so I'm sorry if I offended you!! JHang in there!! As far as the surgery goes, I was freaked out about the surgery. I had the runs for 2 weeks before the surgery and was throwing up a few days before. When I am scared and freaked my body does bad bad bad things to me!! I wrote letters to my husband and boys if something did happen. But you know what nothing did. I have lost 125 lbs (I'm up 7 to 8 lbs right now) I'm healthy!!! That is what this surgery is all about is getting healthy and getting your life back!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! I hope I get to see you in a few weeks!! I will be in Munich (spelling??) How far away are you? I wouldn't mind coming to you. My husband will be working in during the day. Do you know if they have a bus or a train route to your city? I would love you meet you and your little guy (I have a 3 year old too) If you want e-mail me luv3dbb@.... If you have any more questions or concerns about your surgery just drop me an e-mail!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Oh honey, good luck!!! I'm so sorry your husband isn't supportive. I can't imagine how it must be for you to be going through this virtually alone. Your sone will be okay, you will be okay, and once your husband sees the results down the line, he'll realize you made this decision for all the right reasons. I promise to keep you and your son in my thoughts. PLEASE post and tell us how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it God bless, Stacey! I'll be with you in spirit!
