I am May 12th , I start my pre op diet on Thursday I'm scared lol I am wondering do they realize if I can make it two whole weeks on this diet why am I in for this surgery wouldn't I have been successfull on any other ? I'm afraid Im gonna mess up and not get through this esp at work glad I found this site and will be sure to add to my favorites so I can talk and survive lol.

I also haven't told my family not that I am afraid to just don't have much to do with them . My fiancee is all for this and hopes it boosts my confidence. I have told my Boss and Supervisors as I am required to do heavy lifting and won't be able to for awhile . I am not afraid of the extra skin and all that my insurance pays for all reconstructive surgery afterward !!!!! So thats another thing for me to look forward to ! I am afraid I'll still want to eat. I am afraid of the breathing tube . I am afraid of the facility being clean . I am afraid of the pain .

Great I live near San Diego and have to go all the way to Beverly Hills to get mine done as an out patient procedure (I know Beverly Hills sounds great but the facility was gross went there for my scope thought whew fancy was greatly disapointed ) any way ride home will probably kill me . Wonder if they will give something super strong to knock me out lol.

Do they give you anything for the pain?

Damn I'm scared , I love to eat But the one thing I keep thinking is by next year when I wear shorts or skirts my thighs wont rub together. and maybe a bikini ? who knows right ? But seriously when I went in for the first meeting we were given a printed copy of what to expect and seems like all were supposed to go on this two week liquid diet with one meal for lunch and no coffee???? I am up at 2 am Im not going without coffee , cut the cream yes cut the caffine no. But seriously a print out for all that doesn't seem correct . I see alot of the low carb people on here I think I will give my nutritionist a call I went for my pre op dr apt and he said I can feel your rib cage i can do your surgery? this is scary for me do they not understand ? or is this get as many patients in before medical insurances decide not to pay ?
