What a roller coaster of emotions, huh? I keep going back and forth from being really calm and determined and being scared out of my mind. I did my required pre-op crying last night and I hope that's the last of it. I keep telling myself that it's normal to be afraid to fail, and it's normal to be afraid of being a statistic, but that I'm going to be just fine and I'm going to be so glad I did it just like everyone else on this board. Wish me luck!

Well, we have the same day then. I'm a little nervous and hope I'm doing the right thing. I know I am but still nervous. Yea, a roller coaster of emotions, but in my situation I'm doing the right thing, and my decision to have this took me years.

Good luck to you tomorrow, you know you will be just fine.

You guys are going to do awesome and I PROMISE you will be SO happy to have it done finally!! It's so exciting. I'm 1 week post-op today and it's already the best thing I have EVER done. I'm down 10lbs since surgery and I'm doing pretty darn good. Let me know if you want to chat.

I have the same day tomorrow too!! I know you guys will do just fine. I hope to see you post on here soon!! I look forward to hearing from you guys!!. My surgery will be at 4pm. So I am nervous but I have confidence in my surgeon so it will be alright!! Good luck and be safe!

I'm so glad to have company! Good luck to you guys and I'll see you on the loser's bench!

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to hear your updates.

I'm glad to have company lol. I'm scheduled for 8:30 this morning. I'm just ready to get it going. It's kinda girlie of me to be so nervous, but I am.

I'm 294 lbs on my home scale this morning, so that is my starting point.

I have sleep apnea bad, and my primary goal is to resolve that.

Okay, got to get moving, I will post again when I'm on the other side.

Good luck Dramagirl and Krystie !!!!

Congratulations to all of you. You'll be just fine, your recovery will be over before you know it, and it really is one of the best decisions that you could make for yourself. Don't be afraid. Be proud that you're taking charge of a really important aspect of your lives. See you all on the other side.

I'm praying today that both of you have flawless surgeries and speedy recoveries!

I cried like a little girl in the holding room when they were starting my IV. I was so scared. But I made it through. I was in horrible pain when I woke up but I already feel so much better. I just did my first walk around the floor. I'm sore but my spirits are high. Thank you all so much for the support. I'm so happy to be on the loser's bench!

The nurse havens a Valium to calm me a little. Then the pre op drug, and than I was waking up. It was done.

So as I post thisit 11:15pm, in just wide awake but in almost no pain.

I am still raking my pain mess, but feel really good. Met a lady here that said she had wls 20 years ago, and she was talking very positive about it.

Wow, lots of typos in the above post. Sorry about that.

Brought my Halls cough drops (SF) and got the idea from this forum, so thank you. Convinced the wife to go home to be with our adult chid. My dear wife would dotte on me, of course she means well, but I will do better like this

I feel good, will be ready to go home in am. Feeling positive

Good luck with the surgery and recovery.
