I'm scheduled for surgery on Feb 22 and I have very mixed emotions. I'm excited that my 6 months of weight loss management is finally over and I'm so close to surgery. However I'm really nervous about surgery day itself and I really don't know what to expect as far as pain and moving around goes. Can anyone share their surgery day experience with me?

I had absolutely no gas pain and I mean 0. I was only on liquid tylenol no prescription painkillers. Things that were annoying included spending the first night on the toilet when I got home. Second thing I was allergic to the surgical tape that they used to mark off the surgical field. So I had this large rectangle on my abdomen where everything place the tape had been I had very itchy welts.

My surgery day is the 20th! I'll be just ahead of you!

Ow! That sounds painful. But kind of funny.
