Well today is the big day. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I'm nervous. I guess we all are. The unknown is really scary. I had an unrelated surgery several years ago that was very difficult and difficult to recover from. I think I keep having flashbacks to that and expect the worst. I know I'm being silly. Everyone has been supportive here. So greatful for this site. I know the surgery only takes about an hour and I will be able to go home afterward. Just gotta keep thinking positively.:biggrin:

I know this is really wierd. I know I'm 240 lbs with a entire host of health problems that will hopefully be improved by this surgery. But what is strange is that in my mind I am not that weight. I do not think of myself as overwieght until I am out somewhere and catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror. Or the doctor says if you would loose some wieght your sleep apnea would go away. Strange huh.:thumbup:

Mine has and I do not take blood pressure medicine any more or pain pills. Take time to heal. Best wishes on your LB journey. imaluckydog

By the time you read this you will have already had surgery. Congrats and I hope all went well.

I'm going tomorrow.
