I have been getting the same reactions from people and it's making me really question myself. I have heard you aren't that big and you don't have that much to loose why can't you do it yourself. I've heard it so much I am wondering why I can't do it myself? I am going crazy with self doubts now. I really need to find a way to shake it off and get back on a positive foot.

Thank you it is so nice to hear how well you were feeling afterwards. So you had to have a pain pump? That is not something I have heard of? Do you know if all patients have a pain pump after the procedure? Was the removal hard or painful?

I am so thankful I found this thread. I have been seeing too much negativity and the anxiety had spiked so high I have noticed myself trying to back out. All of your positive words are helping get me back on track with positive thoughts and confidence.

Please keep us updated on your journey. I am scheduled for 12/5 and the anxiety has kicked in full force. I free these next few weeks are going to kill me!

So glad to hear you are feeling better.

According to the civil aviation authority you are safe to fly 24 hrs after keyhole surgery (small hole with special instruments)

Yeah that is great. So glad it went well.

Praying you have a fast recovery.

I am traveling from Washington to have my surgery done by dr umback. How was it traveling afterwards? Did you stay through Monday? Were you able to leave the hotel and get some sights in?

I'm going to have to talk to the surgeons office some more. They never told me flying was an issue when I said I wanted to fly home the next day. They are more conserved that if something else arises like my appendix bursts from the shock of surgery that no doctor in my home state will help me because I had weightloss surgery. The anxiety of being away from kids that long is killing me. I am terrified to be away from them. I am not sure why I cannot get over it and just suck it up. The surgery it's self does not have me worried just being gone and then having to fly home alone which I've never done either.

I'm sure the stall won't last too long. Thank you for sharing your story. Hearing how well people are doing and how well they bounced back is very comforting and gives me great hope that I'll be able to fly home sooner rather than later.

How are you doing? How were the first 24 hrs? How long did the nausea last?
