Thank you! That eases my mind a little bit. I'm not.so much worried about pain. I have a high pain tolerance and I am perfectly fine with needles as long as i dont look. It's just the whole idea of having to do it myself. I watched the nurse put an IV in my hand last week for the endoscopy and I fainted. So I don't know what I'm going to do lol. I do have my mom who could help me but honestly I think she would pass out before even I did if she had to help.

My surgeon requires all his patients to have lovenox injections every day for the first week after surgery to help prevent blood clotting (along with walking for 5-10 mins every 2 hours) my question is.. does anyone else have this requirement aswell?? I am fine with shots and needles as long as I don't watch.. but these I will have to inject MYSELF. I'm kinda freaking out about it. Does anyone have any tips to make this easier? What did you do to overcome your fear of sticking a needle Into yourself?! Lol please helpppppp ????

I haven't been put on a liquid diet yet. My pre op apointment is on the 9th so I'm thinking he's gonna put me on it then. Yes I do have facebook I will link you to my page in a message right now

Wait how do I even add friends on here? Lol

weather we have been waiting for a year for this surgery or 3 months or even 2 weeks regardless it's still just as much torture! When you want something so badly 2 hours can feel like a century. so I'm glad your wait is almost over too! We've only got 8 days 7 hours 10 minutes and 34 seconds left! (Definitely have the countdown on my phone haha) anyways can I add you as a friend? Would be awesome to know someone having the surgery on the same day as I am

Thanks so much! I can't wait to not get the "cute face" comment anymore! Lol. I'm very excited to experience all the amazing things you have experienced

Hello everyone! My name is Danielle. I have been hiding here for the past several months but I have decided that it's time to stop being shy and say hi! I have been on a journey for gastric bypass surgery for what seems like a lifetime. February of 2014 was the first time I set foot into my surgeons office and due to my insurance and a bunch of bumps in the road it took over a year for aprooval. . Over a year later I finally got aprooved and have my surgery date! I will be having the surgery on April 15th.. 10 days! EEEKKK so excited but also so nervous! I look forward to getting to know you all. I need buddies.. nobody that I know understands me or understands why I'm having this surgery so im very excited to have this place full of people who understand. hope you all have an awesome day!
