September 23rd sleevers!

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 23rd & I'm starting to get nervous! I'm worried about everything...from my daily life changing to what I'm going to look like afterwards & everything in between!

I got my time... 10 am. Have to check in at 8. Clear liquids and SF jello/poweraid/popsicle sticks (only 5 day preop diet). I had a campbells tomato soup for dinner tonight (very watered down). Now I'm wondering if that qualifies as a clear liquid. Going to be extremely strict with myself for the next two days.

23rd as well. I got a new surgeon so I wouldn't have to postpone my surgery (my original was in admitted to the hospital and is unavailable for 3 to 4 weeks.) I'm not nervous, but a little scared. I was packing up things at my desk from work, and couldn't help but kind of getting emotional looking at the pics of my kids. My surgery is around 9 AM (show up at the hospital at 7). Fingers crossed. :unsure:

23rd for me too! I'm getting extremely nervous but after 12 days on this liquid only preop diet, I'm just ready for Monday to hurry and get here!! My surgery is at 8am.

Good luck to all my fellow 23rd sleevers! May God watch over all of us. :)

Oh my I almost canceled today. I had the worst headache and I thougt I was getting sick! I guess I am just SUPER tense.

Good luck to all the 23rd sleevers tomorrow!! I'm very nervous and excited at the same time!!!

I am the same day!! I get worried too which I usually dont for surgery. I just want it over already' date=' plus the preop diet is kicking my butt. I also find I am nesting at home. Like I did before having my son, Trying to get everything straight.[/quote']

Good Luck 9/23 Sleevers! You all will do great ;)

And about that nesting... I thought I was losing my mind today, I was doing the same thing! Rearranged furniture - cleaned like a crazy lady. (I'm on day #6 of pre-op diet) the cleaning took my mind off of being hungry, and eased my anxiety of having surgery in 10 short days.

Good luck tomorrow, Everyone! and yes, I'm taking a break from nesting at the moment. Glad I'm not alone in wanting everything to be as perfect as possible.

I am the 23rd also. Check in at 7, 9:00 surgery!!

I'm here in the hospital waiting my surgery is in a hour, I'm soooo nervous! God bless you all, we are going to do great!

Good luck - I will be thinking of you. Let us know how it went as soon as you're able to!

Good morning! Today we start our new journey, a very positive one. Prayers for us all. I have to be at the hospital at 1pm (still nothing to eat after midnight)

Good luck everyone. I will keep you posted.
