Not at all!! When you’ve lived part of your life with extra weight that keeps you from feeling great and being the best you can be definitely falls into one of the biggest and best decisions of your life!! Great luck to you and stay positive!!

Getting responses makes my feelings so valid!! Proud of your decision and good luck! You’ll be a day older than me! Lol

I go in at 1130am Monday YIKES! Haha I’m very excited but definitely have bouts of nervousness happening.

Not at all! As one of my other friends I met on here says......we’re surgery siblings! This forum is so great. There are so many wonderful people on here that will help you! Send me a message And we can chat :-)

Good luck. Find a few flavors you like for the Protein Drinks to mix it up is my best advice. It’s not to bad thou. I was on 12 pre-op liquid diet too. I, like Abbey M, and few other have surgery in morning.

I will be cheering everyone on tomorrow as you mark tomorrow as your new birth. That’s the way I look at it. I’m 57, and it has very, very little to do with looking better. It’s mostly about feeling better and living longer.

Thank you for the advice! I’ll take all advice to heart.

This is my first thread ever!! Thank you Abby M for my first response. Feeling emotional tonight. Sorry, I’m not trying to take away from your journey. Good luck, sweetie.

Hi, everyone! I’ve been waiting a year and three months for this life changing experience!! My pre-op liquid diet starts on Tuesday. My surgery is January 23rd. That’s the first time I’ve written that date!! I’m speechless and nervous!! I’m so stinking proud of everyone who is going through this journey of a new and healthier life!😁

Thank You! 12 hours and counting!

Congrats and prayers to everyone who is have surgery in the morning! You are one step closer to the losers bench!!!

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. If a surgeon is grossed out by blood she would have to find a new job!

Surgery here the 16th.

January 21st! Scared and excited. Pray for me!

21st for me also

again, no worries yo are going to be just fine

One surprising thing is that when you wake up, the pad may be GONE. Then again, so might your hospital-issued underwear.
Really it’s best to just view yourself as a car going into the shop. You’ve selected the best mechanics, they know what they have to do, they’ve encountered almost every quirk there is to encounter, and they’re going to return your car in working order and running a hell of a lot more efficiently.

Good to know. So just tell them when I check in to the hospital in the morning?
