So I am at home, showered and ready to go. I'm pretty nervous... I was excited til I let my boyfriends mum get to me.

She keeps saying things like I'm a beautiful young lady and I don't need to do this and that because I have been losing weight lately I should be able to do it on my own. She says the side effects are extremely bad (she was researching the wrong procedure, when I pointed this out she just yelled that the side effects are the same). Last night my boyfriend went to her house and she said to him "just remember when she's sick, she did this to herself"

I know she is worried about me but I really don't need someone trying to talk me out of this days before I'm supposed to have surgery. Especially since I've known for a long time I want to do this.

Anyway it's 1 hour til I have to be at the hospital, it's only 5 mins away from my house so it's pretty good.

Wish me luck!

I said to my boyfriend that she is just jealous that I'm doing this. He said that's not true and that she thinks its unnatural and shouldn't be done. But whatever because I'm 2 days out and can't wait to be the new me!!!

Pfft. Unnatural. So if you were battling with some other disease for ages you shouldn't have surgery?

Two days out, you must be starting to feel a lot better?

Thanks everyone.

The surgery went well' date=' I was in a lot of pain when I first came out but I have a button that releases pain medication into my IV which really helped. I woke up every hour through the night either in pain or just uncomfortable. I decided at 4am that I'm not going back to sleep because its just not working so maybe later on today I'll sleep.

The hospital and all the staff are amazing! All the nurses and the surgeon are so so nice, answered every question I had. The nurses on my ward make me feel really safe, they are just so kind!!

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me and good luck to those who are having surgery soon xx[/quote']

I'm glad you are up and keeping us updated on how you are doing, I'm having the surgery on Monday I seen the surgeon today and everything is ready to go, I'm a little nervous but hearing from you makes me feel a lot better, so how bad is your pain in a scale from one to ten

I should have said that to her! Why didn't I think of that? She would have said some snide remark I'm sure.

I wouldn't say a lot better, actually I feel really crap. Just had my swallow test which made me feel sick and made gas pains worse. I ran out of pain meds so they are getting me some panodol but god I feel bad. Oh well keeping my chin up!

Thanks! The pain really varies, this morning it was more sick then pain but was about a 6, yesterday was a 3. Only right after surgery I probably reached an 8. It's not really the pain it's the nausea that's the worst. Gas pains are bad but they go away with a short walk.

I'm sure you will do fine, let me know how you go.

Well when you have your hawt smokin New bod and he comes a knocking on your door for a randevue, be like.ohhh I'm sorry.were not talking! Lol

exactly what I was thinking...lol
