God Bless and praying for perfection in the surgeons hands!

You will definitely be in my prayers and bless your family for giving you the strength to push ahead. Can someone blog us to let us know that all is well with you?

Praying for you as well! Here's hoping it goes textbook perfect!

Sending you well wishes. Keep us posted on your recovery.

Praying for u, everything will be just fine.

I am 11 days post op and seriously almost talked myself completely out of the surgery 2 days before surgery! My surgery went perfectly and here I am 11 days out and 13 lbs lighter :-) just go for it and remind yourself that life is fixing to change for the better!

Hi girls, just checking in with you to see how your surgeries went? Hope all is going well, let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

I'm 2 days away, and feeling the same way! I'm still in the excited/nervous phase...but I'm sure tomorrow will be the full on freaking out phase! Haha You'll be just fine!

It's definitely normal to feel this way! Everyone goes through almost the exact same thought process just before surgery. Don't let it get you down! AND, you won't be the only person ever to have this surgery and not lose weight! Before you know it, you'll be posting astonishing numbers of pounds lost!! Don't forget to take your measurements today so that you have them for later!

So good to see another person having surgery tomorrow. I too am having surgery and my arrival time at the hospital is 9:30am. I will post more when I return, but I wanted to mention that some of the very same thoughts are going through my head. I will be praying for you too as I head into this new venture with peace, hope, a sense of adventure and yes some fears. Will I survive? Will I have a leak? Will I be able to go back to teach in 2 weeks? Will I fail after all this is done? My friend yesterday said to me that this is like the birth of my first child. One moment I am changed completely and I will need to re-learn a lot of things about life--in this case eating and living. So I will take it one step at a time--baby steps with the hope of a healthier future! I wish the same for you!

I will be there with you on Friday! I am excited, not so much nervous. I have complete confidence in my surgeon's skill

You are feeling all of the normal things that we all feel. I felt scared, nervous, and worried that I would be one of the few people who didn't lose weight even with surgery. I am only 3 weeks out so I don't know if I will be a success yet, but the restriction is quite helpful so far.The emotions will be better once you are over surgery and you begin to feel somewhat normal. Good luck
