Good Luck! I am pre op in orange county. I'm just up the street You'll do great!

How much is it open? you should prob call your doctors office. If it is one of the smaller incisions, it might be ok. you can get steri-strips at the drug store and put a couple of small tapes across it to hold it closed. If it is gaping open, more than a centimeter or so, bleeding, leaking pus, or have a fever, please go to the doc.

I had my first anxiety dream about the surgery last night. I had had the surg, but didn't feel a difference and just kept eating.

This is common in couples, when one person is getting healthy. Most likely the partner is unhealthy. Let me guess, he is overweight himself and has some unhealthy habits? He is seeing you get healthy and he sees that as losing his unhealthy partner in crime. Consciously or not, he is sabotaging you. Be careful! I have more experience in addiction recovery than WLS, but this is common in recovery. Lots of relationships end as a result of one partner getting healthy, if the other one does not. Keep connected with your support groups!

I'm nervous about that too. I have told my parents. They were less than excited, but will be supportive. There's a lot of misinformation out there. I have other support as well as some friends that have been through RNY and LabBand. I just have to watch my expectations. This is my decision and I'm doing it for me. Keep your eye on the prize!
