Default Surgery Tomorrow!!!

HI, EVERYONE!!!SO, MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR IN THE MORNING AT 6:30 A.M., AND I SWEAR I AM A CRYING MESS!! I KEEP WANTING TO CALL AND CANCEL!!! I AM SHAKING, AND FEEL SCARED. I EVEN HAVE MY HUSBAND WORRIED. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE 4 SMALL KIDS, BUT WAS ANY OF YOU THIS SCARED? MY DOCTOR SEEMS VERY NICE, AND WORKS OUT OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. HIS NAME IS DR. JOESPH VITELLO. I AM SCARING EVERYONE AROUND ME, BUT MY MOM KEEPS TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN, BUT I CAN'T. IT IS LIKE MY EMOTIONS ARE FLOWING, AND THERE IS NO TURNING THEM OFF. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SORRY, I AM JUST TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET MY NERVES CALMED DOWN.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It is a scary thing to do but remember WHY you are doing it. Its for you and your kids and your family.

Say a mantra to yourself, deep breathe, go for a walk or do something that you know will keep your mind nice and clear.

Heres to a quick and routine surgery and recovery!!

It is a big change in your life and it makes you scared, think of why you are doing this. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

Oh Yes!!!!!!!
My Last Thread Right Before I Went In Shows What A Mess I Was!!!!!!!

I Too Have 4 Young Kids & Never Had Any Type Of Surgery Before.. The Thing That I Think Made It Worse For Me Is That I Observed The Procedure In Nursing School, So I Knew Everything That Was Going To Happen To Me!!!

Everytime I Saw Someone Coming To By Cubicle I Knew The Time Was Getting Near, So I Got More Upset..
Let Them Know Asap About Your Nerves & As Soon As They Get You To Sign The Ok, They Can Give You Something......

This Is Huge, No Doubt About It, But It Is For The Health & Happiness Of Your Life!!!

Here's To An Uuncomplicated Surgery & Recovery.
I'll Save Your Space On The Losers Bench!!!

Let Us Know How Your Doing As Soon As Your Up To It!!

Thoughts & Prayers Are With You!!!

Lol,

I think we have all had some fear just before going in - I had to keep breathing and telling myself that God is working in the hands of the surgeon and annesthesia. I had a fear of not waking up - just hang in there and show up! The loosers bench is waiting!

I totally had a melt down day before the surgery...I mean my thoughts of the whole ordeal was worse than the awful thoughts I had with post partum depression. But before I knew it I was on the losers bench...I am so glad I did and so were my little four sons!!! Godspeed and my thoughts are with u for a text book surgery and recovery. BTW Im about an hour north of you so if ur ever up in the Great Lakes area maybe we can get together for a protein drink since coffee is out for us
