So tomorrow is my day for surgery! Yay!! Im so excited its finally here but im really nervous too! I keep thinking about once i go under about not waking up. It scares me. I know this surgery has been done so many many times & i know im overreacting but Im praying & i have lots of family & friends praying for me. This is going to be an amazing journey im going on & im looking forward to a healthier & longer life. My husband asked me if i wanted to go to dinner tonight for a meal that i absolutely just had to have but i told him i didnt wanna go afterall because i need to get used to not eating all that yummy food anymore, or at least for awhile. He was so proud of me for turning it down. No food for me after midnight & i dont even have to be at the hospital till 10:30 which means i wont be eating anything for awhile so i know im gonna turn into a witch. I did my eating for the night already & am not planning on anything else. I guess i do have alot more willpower than i thought i did. I have done really good on preparing myself by not eating all the yummy foods i loved to eat. I look forward to hearing how everyone else went with their surgery this week & in the past as well. I will post as soon as im able to. I will share my surgery day story with all of yall too. God Bless!

Good Luck on your journey! You will be fine!!!

Woohoo!!! Tomorrow is my day too... I have to be at the hospital at 0530 and surgery is at 0730. I am so excited and not nervous at all, but this is like me 15milionth surgery. Good luck tomorrow

Thank you ladies both so much! Amanda, you will do great on your surgery too. Thats good that your not nervous at all. Butterfly when is your surgery? I know you must be getting anxious for it to come already. It seems like this whole process took forever but its only been since June. Its all worth it in the end. Im ready for a whole new life change! Well ladies, good luck to you both. Lets keep in touch so we can let each other know how it all went.

Good luck you two! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, for sure. I know I'm nervous about not waking up as well, so I feel your pain. :} And people telling me, "Oh you'll be fiiiiine" just doesn't seem to comfort me!

So all I can say is you guys will be fiiiiiine!

My day is Friday too! Good Luck and a speedy recovery to everyone.

my day is Friday also. I am also nervous.:biggrin:, i have to be at the hospital at 0900 and then i will be on the loser bench. so excited.:thumbup:

Mine is Wednesday, looking forward to hearing how you all are doing.

Congrats all of you on your B-Day! I had mine yesterday It was very stressful waiting to go in, BUT then my anesthesiologist came in to talk to me about the surgery. I had to sign the warning papers and the he said the BAR is open and gave me a good cocktail to relax me. After that waiting was easy. Can't sleep tonight though. Up at 4AM sipping Water with Ice on my belly and it's all worth it! trust me! Good luck let us know how it goes.

All the best to all of you on this journey!

Brainsss ... if "you'll be fine" doesn't work for you, how about "trust God, he didn't bring you this far to fail you now"? You are in my prayers too. :-)

One last thing for you newbies: Read this forum! The post-surgery forum is chock full of information and experiences that you may go through. Remember the band is a tool NOT a miracle. You get out of it what you put into it.

Congratulations!
