Rather than keeping the old January (2011) thread resurrected, I thought it was about time to start a 2012 thread.

I'm scheduled for January 23, 2012, and just got my official insurance approval yesterday.

I am absolutely PUMPED about this surgery. I can't wait... I'm anticipating crazy nerves as it draws nearer, but for now, I'll ride the wave of excitement, thank you very much.

How exciting! Two days for me and still battling with a cough. Good luck!

Oh no! Good luck, take extra vitamin c and spit eveything out hon. I had gotton RSV a viral pnumonia right after Christmas, lasted a good 2 weeks. Ugh. But I am better and keep me posted on how you are doing *hugs*

36 hours from now I'll be waking up and getting ready to head into surgery. I check in Tuesday at 7, and under the knife at 8. Nervous but excited!! Ready to get this over with.

I had some tightness at a couple of the incision sites and it took a couple nights before I could sleep comfortably on my left side. I'm not sure which incision they took my stomach out of. the nurse told me one thing but that can't be right because that spot is one of the smaller lines. The two closest to my belly button are healing slower.

3 More days and I will be sleeved! 2 more days and I will get a call telling me WHEN to be at the hospital..

The liquid diet is kind of rough... but I am managing through it, thanks to the encourangement on this board..

4mykids, I hope you get better soon!

Tlmiller2971 glad to hear the walking is helping the gas pain.. if it is anything like the gas pain I have experienced before (had me doubled over thinking I was going to give birth) ...

Em & Mel congrats on the post op!!

5 more days for me!!!!

Hope everybody is doing well! Two days to go. I'm having a hard time thinking about anything else is this normal? I feel guilty it consumes me so much.

Got out of surgery at 11:30 this am. At first ALOT of pain and nausea, but due to a VERY attentive nurse I had a pain pump and nausea meds, feeling much better now. Just tired, (didn't sleep at all last night).

glad to hear you're on the path to recovery! Glad you have a very attentive nurse too! I hope you get some rest and get some good walks in!

Keep us up to date!

Well, normal is based on the situation - and since we're all in the same boat, you're probably the most normal of the normalest! I'm overly OBSESSED with it

my surgery is tomorrow morning!!! Never felt such a combination of nervous and excited at the same time.

You guys are all going to do great!! Good luck and I hope your surgeries go perfectly!!

I go to the hospital at 7am for surgery at 9am. lots going on in my head!!! but sooo ready!!!!

OMG! I'm so close to the day. Will be at the hospital at 5:30am tomorrow. The anesthesiologist will check and determined if I can go under with this cold and cough. Hoping for a miracle!

I was the same way, probably drove my sis absolutely nuts (short drive, lol!) if it annoyed her, she never let it show

good luck! I know you don't want the cold to postpone things, but...coughing may cause you pain after surgery, so may be for the best if doc says you need to wait
