Oddly very calm tonight, I leave for the hospital at 5am and have surgery scheduled for 7:45. Thanks everyone here for your insight, your support and for all the answers you have provided that have made this decision easier for me. I look forward to joining you on the losers bench. Good luck to my fellow sleevers tomorrow! And every day for that matter. :D

Congratulations!!!

Glad everything went well!

Try the adult dosage of Children's liquid Tylenol and warm tea. Fingers crossed for you! Good luck and feel better.

It must be the Nov. 6 flu! I woke up on Saturday with a sore throat. I've been taking cold meds all weekend, using throat spray just to try and knock it out. I don't think it will matter for the surgery. Just makes recovery a little more interesting.

Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations!!!

Good luck tomorrow and for a smooth recovery!

Peppermint tea also helps soothe your stomach. Feel better.

Nov.6 for me! Went down my checklist and I think I have everything. I had company over the weekend, so no time for anxiety. Just going over my things for when I return from the hospital. I plan on having my iPad at the hospital also. Good luck everyone!!

Best of luck for a smooth recovery!

I'm also scheduled for November 6, Good luck and try not to worry too much!

Congratulations! Good luck leading up to and after your surgery!!

I am half way through my two week pre op diet, which is 3 high protein/low fat/low carb shakes and 1 meal (4-6oz lean Protein, 2 veg servings and if I want 2 starches) also a night snack if I want, sugar free/fat free pudding/yogurt or fruit. I mix up my flavors and it has not been bad at all. So far 8 lbs down in the last week. Good luck!

Congratulations!!!
