Not sure why but today after I signed all the official paperwork for my surgery and got my surgery time I started feeling really anxious. Now I'm completely doubting I can do this, I've been so optimistic and ready to get this done and now I'm nervous wreck! It's like I did a total 360. Hope this is normal and I get back to the attitude I need for this..

Had my surgery on Monday and came home on Tuesday. Everything went very well, was off all pain meds by 11:00 pm night of surgery. The gas pains have been minimal for me (knock on wood) and have been eating (drinking, lol) without nausea. Stomach still a bit sore, kind of like I've done a thousand crunches and where the port is placed is the sorest but nothing that bad at all. I actually scheduled off the whole week from work but I may surprise everyone and go in on Friday. I know everyone is different but to me it has not been too bad at all.

I was banded and had gasric plication in May 2011. It was rough but would do it all over again for I feel so much better. I swam all summer but I need to exercise now. I can't wait for summer to swim again. I should join the health club and swim there. I may do that soon. I have lost 77lbs. since May. It has been an easy lose.
