I'm scheduled on August 13th. Already filed my insurance, had my intake interview with the hospital and talked to the anesthesia people. Have a few more appointments with the doc and my intro to the aftercare program.

Then I'm ready! I can't wait!

I am! One more week yay us!! I can't wait to just have it and wake up and it be done! This has been a long journey and I just want to feel like the finishing touch has been put in place!

Are you excited? I can't believe it's happening so soon! When I first schedule it it felt like months away and now it's almost here!

I'll have mine on the 13th as well....overly excited, nervous and, scared all in one...hope everthing goes well for all of us...one week away..

Good luck! What time is your surgery? Mine is 7:15am so I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I'm totally not a morning person, but I'm glad I'm first. The doc says I will be finished by the afternoon and ready to go home.

Oh that's wonderful! I have to call Sunday to find out my time! I hope I'm first thing in the morning only because I don't have time to sit around and think about it! I'll make myself sick! I'm so excited and scared wrapped into one ball of mess over here! I'm not worried about the pain! I just can't stand to feel sick! So I'm praying that I'm not one of the people who feel sick and keep vomiting! I'd rather have pain honestly! How about you? Excited?

I am Aug 13th as well! I am having my last meal as we speak. I work nights. I start my preop diet in the morning. 3 days of clear liquid.

Hey sleevers, how is everyone doing?

My surgery went really well. The doctor found a esophageal hernia while he was in there and he went ahead and fixed that. I had no idea I had a hernia at all! Glad they got that taken care of.

Am relaxing at the in-laws house right now with some quality Jello.

How did everyone's surgery go?

Mine went well. I'm home today.

My surgery went well... But every time I take a sip or a tiny bit of jello my stomach goes all crazy! Gas? Knot? No idea but it hurts!!!

How long ago did you have your surgery?

Count me in as an Aug 13th sleever!

We leave for the El Paso airport at 10:30 am to fly home.

Whenever I swallow, I feel a little pain bubble about 3-5 seconds later. It's minor but it happens every time. I also developed a sore throat last night. I don't think it's from acid reflux as my wife you I trawling with me caught it too.

I am sure it's all normal. These next few weeks are gonna be tough, but sooooooo worth it.

Glad to hear everyone is doing well! I'm still taking it easy and relaxing with the puppies.
