WOW... so many things going through my mind, mostly excitement. I am sure the nervousness of going under and hoping to wake up will come tomorrow. I have surgery at 1:30pm and have to stop fluids tonight at 5pm.... it will be a long ride and wait for that surgery and can only imagine how thirsty I'll be ... did anyone out there have worries about things like not being able to just freely drink things anymore?

What was it like the day before your surgery??

Chandra,

I'm not sleeved yet, but you're going to do fine. Anyone from Midland can handle this ....it'll be easy-peasy.....lol.

Ok....seriously.. just follow orders and realize you can tolerate anything for a short time. Please post when you get home and let us know how you're doing!

Chandra, I had surgery 4 weeks ago. I had such faith in my surgeon I really didn't have much anxiety. I arrived at the hospital about 6:00 am and waited until almost 10:00 am to go back to surgery. I was so full of anticipation that it really went pretty fast. I knew I couldn't have anything to drink so I just didn't think about it. Good luck to you.

Good Luck to you Chandra!

Good luck to you! Please let us know how everything went asap. Will be thinking about you.

Good luck and know that I'll be saying prayers for you! Just think, less than 24 hours to a new chapter in your life!

by the way...doctors sure are different for all these procedures.

I can eat the night before (anything I want) and can drink up until 10 p.m.

Someone else mentioned having to have a laxative for three days prior to surgery day and only clear fluids for three days prior....not me! (thank goodness, that would totally ruin my vacation prior to surgery!).

Good Luck Chandra! I'll be saying a prayer and sending good energy!

Hugs,

JoAnne
