It seems like all of the sudden December 3rd has made it's way into my life.... I have surgery in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Now instead of it still being months or weeks away.... I'm packing. How are you guys feeling? How are you dealing with your nerves?????

My date is Jan 7th and my nerves are going to be out of control i know it. I work with a surgeon and he keeps telling me i should be just fine and after a few months i will laugh at myself for being nerved out. Its normal to be nervous, its surgery! Elective! I just try to look at how it will change my life for the good. I think your nerves will be crazy until you are put to sleep on the table. I know mine will. I wish you all the luck and keep us posted with your post op progress.

Mine is on Monday too. I'm feeling a little anxious but I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row. I have to pack, get to the pharmacy, get my bedroom set for my return home, get my Protein station set up with all my powders, broths, blender, etc. It's all going to be great. HUGS

Hi, counting down, day 10 to 11th day 0, wish you luck. At this point I don't feel so nervous, at 2 or 3 days left I am sure I will be more. just saying what I have for hospital is; I have big sized Robe, sweats, clean new changes for under clothes, gasX, pad&pen, some lubricant spray for dry mouth, some petty cash. They have phone and television which is enough for me for 2 days, I am not bringing laptop or phone but you can I understand have them.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
