I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

Have to be at hospital tomorrow at 7 surgery is at 10!

Thank you guys

Yesterday was my big day. Hope everyone else who were on the same day are doing well. Surgery went smooth for me. Dr. said my liver was nice and small from preop liquid diet (lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks). Came out of anesthesia and wasn't in any real pain, but my throat was soooooo sore and dry and they couldn't give me anything to drink because I kept dozing off. Once

fully awake the ice chips tasted like Heaven. Not a lot of pain anywhere thanks to the pan pump, but I could not shake the nausea so they kept Me another night ( was supposed to go home the am following surgery). Finally found the combination of meds for the nausea and today am pretty darn comfortable. No trouble drinking fluids, getting up and down, walking around etc. The intense nausea from day one was pretty terrible... not gonna lie... It really Sucked! Not having much gas pain either. Husbnd brought the kids to visit today and was feeling pretty normal. Hope everyone else who had surgery yesterday and today is feeling good. Finally on to excited now that I've passed through frightened. Have had chicken broth, sf hello, sf juices and sf Popsicles and am not physically hungry. Luck and love to all you July Sleevers.

My big day is on the 17th. I keep floating back and forth between nervousness, excitement and fear. Mostly the fear is of the unknown and possible pain.

I am excited to seed the inches and pounds melt away. I am 38 and looking to enter my forties..thin & fabulous!!!

Congrats to all those who have gone before me and good luck to those coming up!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! Take it easy and the yucky stuff will pass. A fellow sleever friend had the same problem and was also told it was normal. Hang in there, my thoughts are with you!

I too have a July surgery date - July 24, which is truly a birthday present to myself since my birthday is on July 29. I will celebrating with chicken broth and sf jello !
