Worm yes, the surgery really isn't that bad, other than the gas! The first 24 hrs are the worse but really during this time you are so morphined up and groggy from anesthesia it's not that bad , once they unhook you from your IV and started on phase 1 diet, it gets easier. Try to walk and move around , ....helps move the gas out....

The worse pain is gas,,,, now we know why all those newborn babies make a bigggg fuss when they have gas lol

Saying a prayer for you right now Sarah. You will do great. Let us know how you are when you can. Gentle Hugs

So happy for u and cannot wait to be there next week.

NOVEMBER 20

Welcome!

Getting pretty nervous! surgery in 5 days (14th). Trying not to talk myself out of this. Anyone else have doubts before surgery? I know I'm just scared.

Up super early getting ready to head to the hospital for my pre-op can't believe it's so close

Ladies, the surgery was nothing, really! Id do it 100 times so long as i can come out a lot thinner!
