It is finally here, I am sitting in my hotel room awaiting the date and I am totally not even scared or anything yet... I thought it would have hit me by now... Sooooooo I expect that closer to it will be crazier for me but for now I'm just awaiting the time... Should I sleep before surgery or expect to rest afterwards?

Good luck and best wishes on your impending surgery. Please update when you are able to!!!

Deb

Best wishes!!! You will do GREAT!!!

Thanks guys! I am currently awake it is 5:00 am in San Diego, and almost 7:00am in Houston. I am still calm but definitely a bit more somber. I can't believe it is finally here. Thanks Deb and Oopsseedaisy, you have no idea how good it feels that you have reached out to me and you dont even know me. Thanks for reaching out a hand when you certainly didn't have to.I sincerely appreciate it!

Good luck Leesey!!!! You will do Great!!!!! **HUGS!** Please keep us posted!!!

Good luck to you, Leesey!!! I hope you wake up feeling ready to start your new life (and not too sore!). Keep us posted!

All the best today Leesey!!! Hugs!!

Let us know how you're doing when you feel ok to do so. Take care of yourself - and sip sip sip!!

Good Luck and Congrats!

ok so gas x made me nauseous otherwise all went well

So... Done?

Congratulations!!! By now you must be sleeved. If you feel at all sick, tell them right away, they will give you some meds pronto.

Welcome to the first day of your new life!!

Good Luck! I am very excited for you!!!

Congratulations! You are going to love your new tool. Remember sip,sip,sip and walk. The walking really helped with my gas. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Congrats on making it through to the losers bench! LIsten to the advice given above and try to relax and no everything gets back to normal pretty quickly. BIG HUGS

Congrats. Def. tell them if you are nauseous. Much better for them to give you something for nausea than for you to start vomiting.

Actually I feel great now! Wednesday morning I had surgery, Wednesday night I puked up dye and blood, Thursday morning I was bloated with gas and walked it off and I also had some water (didn't stay down) 1/4 of a capri sun (didn't stay down), and a popsicle (only thing that stayed down). Thursday night I learned the burping trick (ie. they burp you like a baby and you burp and spit up all the nasty stuff). Today is Friday morning and I feel great. YEsterday the nure massaged my feet and just from that he had my burping and spitting up nasty tuff becasue he says there are nerves in your feet that connect with your tummy which is why walking is so great..
