Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 , Don't be nervous you will be fine. Push all the negative thoughts out of your mind. Don't allow it to boggle your mind. You will do fine and your family will manage for the short time you will be down. You are doing the right thing. What you are doing is insuring that you will be around for your kids in the future and will be able to do things with them. You and your family are going to have such a great life because of what you are doing now. You go girl and don't look back!!!!!! Love ya!! A. B. LAP RNY 3/22/03 Dr. Steve Weinstein, MD.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Well in just four more days I will be on the losing side of things. To tell you the truth I am getting " VERY VERY VERY " nervous. I keep asking my hubby if I really need to do this. he tells me " I said yes you have been wanting this for along time.Now if you ask again Im gonna beat your butt...lol " I am so glad to be having this done even before I was approved and still researching i was nervous. But I guess as others say " If your not nervous something is wrong with you. " I guess I am just getting last minute jitters. I mean I will be away from my kids, my hubby will have to deal with them (getting them ready for school,finding a sitter for when he has to go to nite school.....ect.) Plus running back and forth to the Hosp'l to check on me. I nkow that is alot on Him and I feel bad about putting that burden on him...Am I just feeling sry for myself or am I just going out of my mind with all the worries? I am going to miss my baby's(5y/o) field trip,gonna miss Dinner at school, and she is so upset with me b/c Im not going and was suppose too..... I guess I just need a little encouragement saying " Yes You Are Doing the Right thing " and " that everything will be fine " Thanks for listening and letting me whine a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I was just as nervous as you 4 days before. Your husband seems to be supportive and I'm sure is happy to deal with the kids for alittle while, especially knowing that in a few months, he is going to have one healthy and FOXY looking wife!!!! Just start focusing on all the wonderful things and (CLOTHES!!!!) that are ahead of you. This surgery will hopefully help you stay healthy and alive for many many years to enjoy all of the events coming up in your children's lives!!!! FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Hey ...As you know, I'm also just 4 days away. I look at it like this: -More energy & better health means more fun in my life! -I do EVERYTHING around here. Left on his own, hubby will probably go into shock. I expect to be more appreciated when I get home! -No cooking, cleaning or laundry for as long as I can milk it. -With 2 kids (4 & 18mo) I have not had a good night's sleep in 3 years. Pain and all, I'm looking forward to 5 days in bed. -Once home, extra snuggle time in bed with my babies. -I can't wait to fit into comfortable clothes! Hubby will just have to spring for a new wardrobe. You see where I'm going with this...The glass is half full (OK it literally will be after surgery!) We are here for each other, right? As I head in on Tuesday, you and Crystal will be right there with me and I'll be with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
