Tomorrow is my surgery and im sooo nervous and a little emotional! Any suggestions on how to deal with the nerves? Im going crazy!!

I had my surgery on 9/19 and was what I thought a total basket case before hand. Try not to dwell to much on the surgery but on the new life u will be starting. On the new you that you will be afterwards hopefully the staff at the surgery center will be as great as mine where as I know they helped a lot in getting me clam good luck and positive thoughts

Don't stress over the surgery, it's a piece of cake. It's the after effects that should make you nervous - the day after you'll feel like a bus ran over your stomach and would rip the band out if you could. It gets better and it's all worth it. I wouldn't trade this journey for anything except a 100 lb. bag of unmarked $100 bills.

Stay busy and try not do think about it too much. I know, easier said than done.

Good luck tomorrow.

I was really nervous the day before, but the day of I was better. I guess because I had been waiting so long and it was The Day. I tried to stay busy the day before, actually a few days before. But that morning goes by so fast. After surgery when I got home, I laid down for a little bit, but after that, have been trying to stay busy, which has kept the gas pain at a minimal and has helped me feel better.

Good luck to you and keep us posted
