I just had bypass on the 27 th and like you this was my first major surgery. My advice would to be distract yourself the day before. The straight liquid was tough on me. The surgery was much simpler than I expected and the pain was minimal. A good support system is extremely helpful too. Good Luck!

Oh the nerves! Just keep doing your thing as usual. Try drinking chamomile tea, I got really nervous at the hospital when they called me for the surgery. I was trembling but immediately I got the anesthesia so I don't remember anything else. Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
