I am one week post-op today! Everything has gone really well, thank goodness. My gas pain wasn't especially bad until the last 2 days (you would think it would get better). I have been living on gasx and the heating pad. Please tell me it subsides soon. Down 12 lbs since my pre-op diet! Pretty darn excited about that!

Successful surgery on Wednesday the 15th! Surgery is a piece of cake!! Honestly, couldn't have gone any better. I work from home, so I have been working since I walked back in the door from surgery Yesterday, I took it easy (although, I did walk 1 mile) and today I took a shower and took off the bandages! So far so good. My biggest issue is how I am going to get all my pills down. I'm tackling them one at a time. I haven't weighed yet, but probably will tomorrow. I'm on my journey, and I will be keeping up with all of you, too!

I am so relieved to hear this!! That just gives me a little extra confidence. This time on Wednesday evening, I'll have already had it done. Excited and nervous!

I'm getting really nervous now. My date is first thing Wednesday morning! I have lost 5 lbs so far in pre-op mode, so now I question myself "If I can do it now, why should I go forward with surgery". But, I have always been able to lose weight, I just can't keep it off. So, my hopes are that I will be reminded on a daily basis to eat correctly. I go tomorrow for pre-op. Wish me luck

My date is January 15th, so I'm right there with you. Good luck to us!
