Good luck Sir. I was very nervous, but very happy I made the decision. My surgery was Aug 1. I'm down 38lbs (365 to 327). You will do great!

So, I'm through the surgery. Got to my room at 11:00am. Waking up after surgery was tough. I had severe nausea. They got that under control, and now, I feel very good. No gas pain, very mild pain at the ports in my stomach. Able to get my Water in (4oz) an hr, no problem. What's crazy, is I feel so good compared to what I expected, it's disconcerting. They say the "tap blocks" are basically making the ports, for the most part, numb.
Pastors from my church prayed with me and the surgeon prior to the procedure. My Dr prayed over me as well, how cool.
So far, all is great. One day at a time.

Only started reading these forums for a few days. I'm not sure if they help, or freak me out. Some of the stories are simply rough. It seems most have bearable to fairly mild post op experiences, but some are hard to read. I'll be praying for those. Do many have second thoughts a few days before the date? Ugh. My wife is a little nervous for me.
Well surgery is scheduled for the first one this coming Monday morning. Dr only required one week Optifast 800 liquid diet pre-op. Just a bit nervous. My Pastor and a few friends from Church will be there to give a little comfort and Pray with me before the surgery.
Prior to starting the liquid diet, Weighed 366lbs. Don't know what I may have lost this week.
I'm not one to post on forums, but maybe some support and encouragement will help the nerves.
