Today is the day my life changes for the better. Surgery is at 7:30AM and I am feeling mostly OK. I am a little nervous and apprehensive about the surgery and the next few days, but I know it's only a speed bump along my path to better health and a longer life! Good luck to all of my fellow soon-to-be sleevers out there. You are in my prayers!

Praying for you. I am sure all will go well. Check in after when you can.

Prays and well wishes! Speedy recovery!

i think the worse part is waiting for surgery.....it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be. sip your fluids and force yourself to walk. see you on the losers bench!

Good luck Becky! Remember everyday gets better! You'll do great

Good luck and have a speedy recovery

Thanks to all. Surgery and hernia repair went well! Since I slept so much of today, between sips and walks, I am now wide awake. That is good news though since someone is in here at least once an hour for something! I can't complain though.because the nurses and staff have been great! For the first time in my life, I am glad to be firmly planted on the bench! Thank you all for your support!!
