@Bambi150 Thank you for sharing your story! I am definitely going through with it no matter what my nerves say because my back needs a break. I am praying that once I get this going hopefully my everyday living in chronic pain will ease some. With Fibromalgia, Spinal stenosis and degenerative joint every pound lost will count. My outlook on how bright my future looks with this surgery is what is going to pull me to the finish line. And all my glory goes to God. I will absolutely be ok. Many blessings for you in your continued journey!! 🫶

@Bari_Hopeful Great advice! It's all unknown until it happens which makes things harder to comprehend. And you are correct, I absolutely can do this!! Positive mind set goes a long way. I think another main concern of mine is having food prepared to snack and eat so I don't chance getting too hungry and eating too fast or too much. I just need to do more research on those things as well as talking with helpful caring people who are willing to share with me. So thank you so much! Best wishes on your journey and God bless ❤️

@nervy Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that you are doing great post op. That is encouraging. I have faith that everything will go smoothly and nerves are to be expected. And congratulations on your journey going so well for you! Best wishes and God bless 🙂

I feel I am starting to rethink If I should even do this surgery. I guess it is nerves. But it is also doubt if I am able to do what needs to be done. I can use any encouragement, advice, tips, recipes, snacks, how you yourself survived the pre and post op situations. We had a hiccup with me having to get a Colonoscopy/Endoscopy because of my diverticulitis. So it pushed us back about 2 1/2 months to get me to the pre op appt. And I guess in that time I stopped being focused on the big day so I feel like I am just lost. Thank you all for any advice you would like to share. God bless.
