Congratulations !!!! I'm in the same boat 3rd day post op. J cant wait for the pain to go away. Had my hernia fixed at the same time And I think that's were most of the pain is from . They had problems fixing it . Hope all goes well for you. And I was scared also just before surgery. The Doc seen how nervous I was and asked if I wanted to get dressed and go home . LOL . But I'm looking at the long term affects .

Well at least I know I’ll get some rest when I go home. Drowsy for days...lol

Thank You have you had yours yet

Glad to here that !!!! I'm in the same boat just got home .

Might have to go back if that doesn't get better . For those getting close you will do fine. I'm on liquids belly is sore,`. Good luck to the rest of you getting close .

OK wish me luck . Very scared and nervous. Haven't had very good luck in my past hospital stays . Now that I'm 60 I know I'm no spring chicken . Right now just chicken !!

Last day of pre op diet. 9:30 Tomorrow morning is the big day . Nervous and scared . Its just now starting to feel real . Liquid diet went well for the most part . Only cheated twice . And not that much food . I shocked as I'm not that hungry . And it goes fast if you keep busy .

I'm the same day . Your lucky you get meat I get carrots / celery . But its ok getting down to the wire . Good luck to you hope all goes well . Me I'm nervous . And to top it off threw my back out yesterday and the cant do anything because of my surgery on Monday . Hope my luck changes !!!

Good luck

All of you are a great help , Makes me feel that I'm not alone going through this . I have my wife but I don't think she gets how hard this has been . .The stop smoking is the hardest for me . But doing good so far . What makes it worse ids she smokes . Cant wait until this is over .
