Hi, I was also terrified - however, they wheeled me near the operating room and i was still awake and the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. No pain, no vomiting, however, I did get dehydrated the next day and felt very sick. Surgery was Feb. 26 and I have lost 21 pounds but I need to start exercising. And when they tighten the device afterwards with the needle it does not hurt. Good Luck Dyannamelia te=slim4life;830610]:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Hi! I'm new this forum and my surgery is coming very near. First I couldn't wait but now I'm getting so scared. It's a crazy anxious, excited, and nervous taking over. The liquid diet is going fine so far but I've only begun as I have until May 14. I found this wonderful Protein supplement on the internet called unjury. It's delicious. If interested just go to www.unjury.com. Comes in 4 or 5 flavors...
