Prayers for Thursday please

My gall bladder surgery is this Thursday AM. I am not ashamed to say I am down right scared! My DH will be with me at the hospital. It is day surgery. Dr. says I can probably go back to work on Monday. I am thinking of taking all the time I need and maybe a little more. Of course nothing to eat after midnight but I am scheduled for 10:30. That's a long time without food! I know that everything will be alright but I am still nervous.

Please remember me in your prayers on Thursday and I will let you know how things turn out.

Thanks for the support so far. Where would I be without you gals and this board!

Dear LM....I had gallbladder surgery last Aug. 2. I was SCARED to death! So I know how it is! Mine was day surgery and very minimal discomfort...a couple of days. I did take a week and a half off just because i wanted to go for post-op check before I went back to work. I didn't/couldn't eat that much at first and even now some things don't sit very well but still feel a lot better than I did! Everyone at the hospital was very nice and reassuring...that helped! Things will go well!

Prayers for you on Thursday!

Hugs

RJ

Hi LM,

My mom (aged 76) had gall bladder surgery last year and did it with ease. I know you will too!! I'll think of you on Thursday and send lots of prayers and positive vibes your way.

Many hugs,

Sooze

Hi LM, I think you'll do just fine, but I understand about your being scared! I had mine done almost 20 yrs ago, when they didn't do the minimal surgery, and was scared to death! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

LM you bet I will be sending my prayers your ways for Thursday! I think it is so natural to be afraid, but I am sure that you will be fine. Just think when you are there with your dh that even though you do not see us we are there with you in spirit!

Please do let us know how it went!

hugs Lor

LM will sure be keeping you in my prayers, Will send angels your way to keep a watch over you and keep you safe. This is a pretty simple surgery any more. Take special care and I would be scared to I think anytime you have to face something like this it is scary.

LM, good luck with your surgery. I hope it goes so smoothly that you hardly know it's happeneing...except for the fasting before, of course! You should feel so much better afterwards. Take all the time you need...and take care.
