How's all my fellow 10/11/12-ers doing? I'm excited more than worried, now. I drank citric of magnesium and only water between now and 12M. I have to be at hospital at 6am- happy so nice and early! the sooner the show is on the road, the better, already! Mybiggest concern is the CPAP machine for sleep apnea- I hated wearing it during my sleepstudy! I also am having 2 hernias repaired that I didn't know about! Looking forward to being onthe losers bench and never seeing the numbers I now see on the scale ever again! Good luck everyone, sweet dreams!

Can anyone tell me when the pain on the left side subsides? It's my largest incision where the stomach is removed that the only complaint I have as far as pain is is considered...

I've been in pain all day today, with the right shoulder and neck pain and the stomach pain, but around 830 tonight I started to get a lil chest pain ad went away and ten got up to walk and that was it I got really bad top stomach pain the neck pain I unbearable and so is the shoulder I can breathe without hurting!! I want to scream!! I cant cough to get the phlegm out and can seem to release the gas out of my body! I feel the gas!!! So u can say I'm a little unhappy! But I don't regret surgery!!! :( btw I'm still in the hospital.
