Me Too! I'm having my gastric bypass tomorrow as well. Four of us I've found so far on the same day. I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon and the dreading is over and the recovery begins!

I've been following these boards for awhile, getting ready for surgery in the morning.
I've got a combination of excitement and anxiety at the same time.

Good luck to all of us March 24thers. Have to leave home at 6:30 in the morning. I can't believe time went so fast.

As I get closer to my surgery date... I have this urge to join Weight Watchers one more time just before surgery and be a very SUCCESSFUL loser! I failed so many times at Weight Watchers. I want to go into the meeting confident I lost weight. I always use to run to the bathroom to save that pound of Water on the scale. I want to head to the scale and not worry about the weight of my clothes compared to last weight in. I want to collect all the 5 pound ribbons, stickers, little metal awards and become a lifetime member! I know its crazy!

Hi newbie here. Scheduled for 3/18/14.
Excited but nervous. Glad I have this board to read and help.
Day 2 of liquid diet (pre-Op).
Looking forward to a healthy me!

I'm scheduled for the 25th. (My husband and myself are doing it together with same day surgery). We are here waiting to get our shakes and stuff for our 2 week pre-op all liquid diet. Nervous as can be. Goodness. I hope these 2 weeks fly by.

I'm scheduled for March 24! So nervous, so excited! I'm ready to get on with it to be past the operation...

I hear you...and I understand. Here is what I hear after those thoughts cross my mind...
1. You have spent almost all of your life doing some form of dieting...this is not normal.
2. Sure you lose 25-40 lbs...but you cannot possibly keep up with what it took to get to there annnndddd...you have much more to loose than just 40 lbs.
3. Easy would have been one of the many pills I've tried to take to lose weight...this...this is NOT easy.
I wish you luck on coming to your own peace with this. I am scared too..I do get it. I am worried and scared and full of fear at times..but...I am also afraid of doing nothing and having to have a heart bypass or developing diabetes, or having a stroke from being overweight. Keep in touch. And if you need to talk we are all here for you!!
