I think it's the 'blind faith' thing, just taking a step into the unknown. I know that's how I felt when I had mine. Immediately afterwards I just thought 'what on earth was I worrying about?'

Where are you having your op?

What you are feeling is perfectly normal and understandable! The day and night before my op sitting in a hotel room 220 miles from home i was thinking and analysing all sorts of thoughts some rational some not so rational! However on the day of my surgery i was very calm and as Gillabean says i too woke up wondering why i had been worried! Good luck for tomorrow all will be fine i'm sure xx

 

[fatidol]

thanks i know my feelings are normal, my mind is all over the place i'm now thinking how lucky and privlaged i am to be offered this chance

Fatidol, you know i had open bypass. You may have read my account of my surgery and me saying about the pain being more than i expected... But even though its not even a week since my surgery if you asked me now would i do it again with the knowledge i have i'd tell you ''wild horses wouldn't stop me''.

Every day is better than the last one.

I too worried for about 5 minutes before realising that if i didnt want the surgery i would never have had the embarassing moment when i asked my gp for wls, waiting for the inevitable rejection i expected.

Go get your op tomorrow, your family life will be so enriched within such a short time. You will go to the ball Cinderella xxx

You can do it fatidol, the give you a morphine pump so you regulate you own pain control. One of the things that really impressed me was every time the nurse came round she asked if I had pain, which I didnt, but would of supplied me with something if I had.

good luck tomorrow.

Its the fear of the unknown thats worst.

You'll be fine and soon losing - the pain is controlled for you - and as long as you follow the rules you'll do fine

Best wishes

Loads of luck Angela and heal well xx

It's perfectly natural to feel nervous...'the pain'...you'll be given pain meds...'the not making it'...you've got more chance of NOT making it long-term if you don't have the op & they wouldn't operate in you if they thought you had health issues that would make you too high risk...'the guilt'...don't feel guilty about making a better future for yourself so you can be around longer & healthy to spend quality time with your family!
You will be fine & back on here telling us all the details before you know it! xxx
