Ok, I know you see this all the time but please someone talk me down from my ledge. I've really been great and calm all day. Now I'm going through all the scary feelings. Please, please, send prayers and positive thoughts my way. I promise to update when I'm out of surgery.

Good luck!!! I have surgery tomorrow too! I'm so excited and nervous. I will keep you in my prayers.

You will do great! I had the same feelings - cried when I checked in at admissions for goodness sakes! Your nerves are to be expected. Grab ahold of them and go for it. You will be so happy when your new life begins. Best to you and can't wait to hear from you once you are home!

You do not need to be on the ledge sister! Sleeve world is great! Not a walk in the park the first few weeks but each day gets better and better. It is so nice to unchained from hungry,hungry, tummy. I like my tiny tummy. I can manage it! I feel like I did when I was in my 20's on the hunger scale. It's been soooo long I had forgotten. So even though it is very normal to have some anxiety right

before surgery it will all work out for the best. You are making the right decision for your health! Good luck and wishing you a smooth

and safe surgery and recovery!

Debbie - I'm so excited for you! All your waiting and anticipation is over and this time tomorrow night your surgery will be behind you! How wonderful! I'm sending you lots of good thoughts and looking forward to hearing how you're doing.

OMG Debbie!!! Congratulations!! I'm soo jealous of you!! You will do fine and you'll make it out with flying colors Sending bright blessings you way and good, positive, healing thoughts and wishes

You guys will be talking me off of this same ledge in 2 weeks and counting

You're going to be so happy you did this. Try not to worry too much, you'll be just fine. I can't wait to hear about all of the success you have.

Debbie;

It is okay to be concerned tonight. You are on the verge of a brand new journey. I think you are more excited that scared. Be happy and I am waiting to see your post op post.

Welcome to the losers bench.

You are very brave!! and i understand how logistically it worked out this way. Much luck on your trip. I'm sure everything will work out beautifuly text or email if you need to chat the day of. Do you know what time you will be actually having the surgery?

I went through this too, completely normal!! Sending you lots of positive vibes and looking forward to reading your updates!! Good luck for an easy surgery and speedy recovery.

Hey Debbie! Funny I find myself reading your post right around the "in 9 hours" mark too! I have to be there at 9am and here I am awake! Not too worried here, have had so many surgeries before, then I start thinking I SHOULD be worried! UGH!! Ready for it to be done! See you on the losers bench!

Thank you so much everyone for your warm replies. Been out of surgery around 4 hours. Doc said it all went well but pain is unbelievable. Walked twice around the nurses station so far. Throat hurts. You guys are AWESOME. I love you all much

So glad you made it through with flying colors! Sorry your pain is so bad! Meds! Walk! Mess! Walk!
