I'm so nervous! I think I'm worried about the pain and the fact that part of my body will be gone than the actual procedure itself. I keep thinking: what if this is a mistake? but then I think about how long this journey has been and how much I've wanted this, and I just want it to be done in over with.

I was lucky that I only had to fast for 24 hours and I couldn't drink anything in the last 8.

I can't wait to meet everyone on the losers bench! Here's to an amazing journey.

Please let us know how everything went!

Thank you all for the good luck wishes.

I was a rough 2 days. But I can say that about 7 hours after surgery, I was up and walking. The nurses were amazed and the doctors joked that I must want to get out of there fast. However, I didn't see a lot of other bariatric patients walking around like I did. I couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time, but I would just walk circles around the surgery floor. I think that's what saved me from having gas pain in my chest and shoulders. [TMI] It's all coming out the other end hahah
