Good Luck!

This is such a tough place to be. From my research, less than 1% have complications. You have worked hard to get this far and the time is here.......Write down on a piece of paper the pro's and con's of having this procedure.....Everyone pretty much feels this right before surgery and many of us continue on and "JUST DO IT." My bariatric surgeon saids this is a safe proprcedure. So I wish you the best and hope to hear how your doing or if you decided to put it off..... :)

No, I'm not going to put it off. I'm all in now, just nervous with the "what ifs". Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll be up walking and getting acquainted with my smaller stomach!!! Wish me luck everybody and I wouldn't turn away a prayer either!!!!

I agree with Ms Skinniness! IF you have a problem with the what ifs...then just think about the what if I donts! :) You are doing something GREAT for you. Hang in there. I wish I was going in, but still have 2 months to wait. ugh.

You will do great!

Try and relax. I had my sleeve done on Monday and everything went fine. I had alot of pain but once I was given the pain medication, I was ok. I came home yesterday afternoon. THe pain is much better than when I was in the hospital. I havent had too much nausea. I almost have 35 grams of protein in me and the day is still young. Just do what your doctor says to do and you should be fine. :)

I'm really trying to relax. Its just the permanent ness of the whole thing!!! If something doesn't go right then I'm stuck with it the rest of my life!!!!! We'll see tomorrow around 8:30am!!!

So glad to hear your not going to put the surgery off.... This is the hardest time you will be going through. The what if's do cause a lot of anxiety for us...Then there's the waiting.....It will be here before you know and you will be waking up with you tiny new tummy......Can't wait to hear how it goes..... :)

You will do awesome, deep breath and think of all the positives...sending you best wishes
