Hey Saundra
I am having my surgery on April 4th - on Monday I start my pre-op diet... I started a few weeks ago to watch my food and began excersizing again.... Just to get a good jump start. So in 16 days I will have the procedure done at 11:00am and will stayover night because of sleep apnea. I am kind of glad I get to stay overnight because likely they will help me manage any pain and I can rest and recover. I have some nervous moments but mostly I am excited to get started. It is so nice to hear you have a supportive spouse... I have one too! without their encouragement and help we would likely have some difficult days ahead. Doing anything alone can be challenging let alone surgery, recovery and behaviour changes. I wish you well and hopefully you can check out my progress after surgery as I will be 8 days post op when you are getting yours done.
