I am right here with you guys wishing you the very best for your surgery day. I am so excited, it is only 6:30 here and I want go get my scrub down done and go to bed now just so I can sleep thought the rest of the wait time LOL.

I am starving though, no food, not even Protein was allowed today. Nothing except clears at all today, ugh tummy is grumbley.

Best of luck though to all of us and make sure you post back when you can. We have Wifi in our hospital room so I will try to post as soon as I can. Yeah, Losers bench here we come!

I too am having surgery on April 11th. I am so excited and getting a little scared. Does anyone have any words of wisdom that they found helpful and wish someone would have told them???

I haven't been sleeved yet, but have had 9 major surgeries over the last 30 years so I understand the pre-surgery jitters. Take a deep breath and relax. (I know, easier said than done.) You have done your research, followed the program outlined by your surgeon, right? So now you need to let go of the feeling you have to keep control over this since all you can control are your actions and responses. You have selected a professional and you must trust your decision. The surgeon wants the best possible outcome for you as much as you do.

Not sure what, if any, religious beliefs you hold, but for me, I knew I was in God's hands, and I prayed for the surgeon, anesthesiologists and every person involved in my care. The last surgery I had was 11 hours long and I came through with flying colors. So, trust your decision, and your surgeon -- it's the only way to get through this.

Best wishes for a successful surgery, miraculous recovery and complete restoration to perfect health.

Good luck to all of you today! Wow there are a lot of you being sleeved today!!! Wish I was, but my day will be here before I know it. Congrats and easy and speedy recovery to you all!!! Will be thinking of yall and look forward to your updates.

:hippie:
