I am in the very early stages of the procedure (pyche eval done and first nutrition class on Tuesday) - I am excited about the possibility of getting my life back but also a little scared of the unknown. I have fought this weight all of my life and I am so tired of the fight - please tell me it is all worth it?

October 9th surgery, so 5 days out, and so far doing great I think. I only have one problem and that's a headache in middle of night, but I am thinking it's dehydration so I am trying to drink more during day. Is anyone else having trouble with getting in enough fluids during the day?

Hi, it can be hard but what I do is have a 750ml bottle and I try to make sure that I finish that by lunch and then the second bottle by dinner, I carry it with me everywhere just to remind myself to keep sipping. You will get there!!

Tomorrow is pre-op lab work and surgical visit! October 21 is the day..so busy trying to get work and home together...I've got very little space to get nervous..though I feel I may be exhausted on surgery date!

Hang in there Shelley the gas will pass pretty quickly, especially if you move often, take care

Came home yesterday! No pain at all! A little nauseous, so I had to stay an extra day, other than that everything went great!
