Tomorrows surgery day for me! I'm so nervous it's all I can think about. Today's my last day at work and I'm hoping I can get the through the day and concentrate. I have so many emotions right now and things I'm thinking about its strange. I'm worried I'm gonna have horrible pain, I'm worried my incisions are going to scar really bad, I'm wondering what I'm gonna look like and feel like afterwards and in the months to come...there's so many things running through my head. Lol!!

Emilee,

I'm in for tomorrow too!!! I'm really excited! I started packing my over night bag.

I'm tomorrow also!! I think we are going through the same emotions. I'm very excited for this new journey though.

There is different degrees of pain for everyone. I had no gas pain so I was lucky there but I had bad pain for about a week in the incision he took the stomach out of. But in my case he had to go through a 30 year old scar and he said it took him an extra 15 minutes because it was tough. I stayed on the liquid pain medicine every 6 hours and it was bearable.

My stomach. Looked like the himalaya mountains from all the Fluid they had put in me. I gained 10 lbs after the surgery but it left again within a week and my stomach was back to normal.

That was surgery but now I am 3 months post op and down 52 lbs. I am also 66 years old. You young woman will do so much better.

Just remember it is major surgery but it is well worth it. I could never have lost this much weight before.

Best of luck to you all. Get r done, LOL.

Congrats... Just remember you will never Weigh this much again.... And everyday gets easier and easier!!

Ask how often your pain med is scheduled. Ask for it as soon as you can have it. As long as you don't let the pain get out of control, you should do fantastic! They say after day three, there's very little pain.

I'm a RN, so the pain med advice goes for any injury/surgery. Keep it under control and you'll do great!

I had my surgery one week ago today. I was such a nervous wreck before having it that I was crying in the hospital. I wish I'd have known that it's not so bad. (I feel like child birth was much worse.) I had enough pain medicine in the hospital to cover my needs. I'm already 12 pounds less than what I weighed when I went in the hospital. My scars don't look like they'll be too bad. I bought some mederma and kelo-cote gel to help them heal once I'm allowed to put them on there. I tend to scar pretty badly. So far it's not been as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck ladies! You'll do fine! Just keep focused on that healthier "you" that is right around the corner!!!

Try not to stress over it too much. Tomorrow is my day also. I go in at 5am and I'm the 3rd patient on the list. i'm just glad that i've conquered the pre-op liquid diet. Let's get ready, get ready, get ready....!!!

I also had mine 1 week ago, they manage pain in the hospital very well, then gave me loratap liquid, that helped alot, it was rough for the first 5 days for me. today day 7 I am better, took dog for walk, I do tire easily, taking car for oil change on tuesday and back to work on thursday, The worst for me is the frikken liquid diet, I hate it, can't wait till sunday. I only lost 5 pounds since surgery, but I have a low bmi too. Good Luck.
