Well I had my pre op appt at the hospital, paid the surgeon:eek: and am set for Thrusday. Now I have to start the pre op diet tomorrow.... I am nervous excited and scared. Was anyone else like that? The baractric coord. was a patient at one time too so that made me feel better. I have had lots of surgeries but never been this nervous. Any words of advice???

You're so very close ! ! ! I was more excited because I knew that I getting rid of the horrid band/port pain.

I always tell people go in thinking positive, come out with positive results. Asking for a little valium before they wheel me back always helps with that mantra LOL.

You're gonna do fabulous, and I will be out of state, and probably won't have access to the net until I return home, but you'll be in my thoughts, and I'll come back looking for an update from you.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! No advice, but good luck on the pre-op diet.

Thanks Tiff and Dee you both are SO my motivation! Well among lots of other things. But to see where you both have come from means that I too can do it! :crying:

Started the pre op diet today and it has been pretty good! The evening is my most difficult time noramlly so I am sure that will be a challenge! SO ready for this! Not scared either today! I know a new me is ready to emerge!!!

Best of luck to you for a great surgery and recovery! We will all be thinking of you:thumbup1:
