16 hours, 37 minutes and 19 seconds until my VSG... Very nervous and actually having second thoughts! :(

Everyone has second, third, or even hundredth thoughts--that just shows that you're taking the process seriously. If you went skipping merrily off to the pre-op exam room, I'd be worried. ;)

You're making a wonderful choice for your body and your future. Change can be nervewracking, but the results are going to make it all worthwhile. You'll do great; and you have plenty of people here pulling for you!

I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 730am tomorrow. Not sure if my surgery is 1st or 5th on the list for my surgeon so we might be getting sleeved at the same time by different surgeons. I'm not nervous about the surgery but instead a little anxious and a little worried---anxious to get it over with and worried about the recovery and learning to eat again but this too shall pass. Then we are on our way to thinner! Adding you as a friend...keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I'll do the same!

Yes, the surgery is not why I'm nervous... It's the recovery (I hate vomiting) learning to eat and drink differently. The first week is what I'm mostly scared about. I hear the first 3 days are the worst.

Thanks!! I was all excited until yesterday... It hit me! :(

I had the sleeve on Thursday, and I have not vomited 1 time. I have a bit of an upset stomach but the nurse gave me a pepsid pill, which I was scared to death to try and swollow, it went down fine, no problem. I really wasn't that bad, but today we normally go out to eat on Sunday after church, and I am really missing that!!

You will be fine, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. good luck!!

I have to be at the hospital at 7:15 in the morning!! I'm sooo nervous about the surgery itself! I've only been in the hospital once and it was having my daughter. I'm not worried about learning to eat afterward.... Actually looking forward to that. Prayers for everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!

Yep- tomorrow is going to be an awesome day!! Good luck everyone!

I was sleeved on 3/23 and have not yet vomited and don't plan on it :)
