Are you loco? I'm not ready. I'm scared :(

But that's me. I knew I would be. Hang on for the ride! R u ready?

Hi there! I'm Sept 12th too! I start the Clear liquids today so pretty much Isopure...and more isopure and water! Justine13 - I'm scared too and extremely nervous, but I think that is natural for any surgery, especially when we are out on general anesthesia.

I'm ready for 3 months from now to be here so I can look back and smile :-)

Good luck to everyone on Wednesday!!!

I'm ready but a little nervous. I got all the things I needed yesterday for after surgery. I'm headed to the hospital once I'm done at the salon this morning to pre-register. I'll probably pack my hospital bag tonight since I'm so anxious. I'm praying for everyone of you guys and I know we'll make it through this surgery.

I'm September 11th have done a week of pre op shake diet(with a few minor cheats) over the headaches and weakness down 12lbs!!!! Only 1 more week to go!

I am also sept 11 nerves are kicking on now!! Good luck and let me know how you make out!:)

I go Sept 11th... My doctor said we didn't have to do a formal pre op diet' date=' just to do whatever diet we've been most successful on thus far... I stopped eating solids today, just in case. Hopefully by Tuesday I'll be completely cleaned out and my liver will have gotten small enough to not cause any issues.[/quote']

I'm also sept 11!! Nervous yes!! Good luck and see you on the sleeve side! :)

This is my "OMG" it's only two more days face.

This is my "OMG" it's only two more days face.

I'm ready...the only thing I worry about is not being able to get my liguids and protien in post op....that scares me the most..and of course the additional pain with my hietial Hermia..

Wallman - my concerns are just as yours. I'm hoping post-op is not going to be too difficult!

I'm getting really excited but dreading all clear

Iiquids tomorrow and no shakes! However - one day until I start my new life!

I am the 12th as well. There has been no pre op diet for me, just not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before. I have to call tomorrow to even see what time my surgery is. They have you call between 3-4. I hope it is early because it takes me an hour and a half just to get to the hospital. I am nervous that I don't have to end up being cut open, other than that not scared at all. After 9 months of appointments I am soooo ready!!!! Good luck to you all!!!

well my pre op diet is almost up tomorrow is the last day and its all clear liquids. a lot to do tomorrow pack for hospital and all.

Oh my goodness guys! It's tomorrow!!!!! I'm so excited and nervous, it's crazy. Good luck to everyone tomorrow and today with the clear liquids!

I am scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and yes I am nervous.. but I think I am more nervous about what life would be like if I don't have it... I have been on the low carb for two weeks and today is day 2 of the clear liquid pre-op... I have lost 8 lbs... but I am STARVING... ugh. There isn't enough broth/jello/Mio/water to fill me up lol... But I know it will be worth it.... I watched two of my aunts die morbidly obese and I don't want to "be them" and that's where I am headed if I don't have it... Prayers and blessings for everyone..!
