Holy heavens I'm exhausted....this pre-op is gonna be the death of me!!!!

It's hard, but worth it. I feel good...and it's one day. That's not to say it's easy, but I'm eager to make all my supporters proud, and I can assure those who follow me that your imagination is often worse than the reality. Pre op sucks, but you won't notice after. Good luck!

This app is driving me absolutely insane ive been trying to post stuff for at least a week and a half and I can't the whole app shuts down !!!

I got my surgery time!! It's Monday @ 1:10pm!

I am a lil scared of something going wrong during surgery because I did not follow my pre-op diet @ all, I have 2 more days left, I will be doing the pre op diet to a T, and also I have to drink citrate magnesium on Sunday to clear out bowels and I hope it helps & that nothing goes wrong! Good luck to everyone!!!

Ok... Well good luck!

Hi. My surgery date is Monday, Feb. 18. I am so excited and ready for this. I'm sort of nervous though. I had my stomach stapled (?VBG) back in 1989 or 1990. It didn't work - obviously. (I know 2 other people that had that surgery. It didn't work for them either.) I'm so hopeful that I'm successful this time. I've been told that this surgery has evolved - and is MUCH IMPROVED compared to the old procedure. I know 4 people that have had gastric bypass within the last few years and they ALL lost major amounts of -weight. The pre-op education is entirely different. There was none the first time I had surgery.

Has anyone else had their VGB revised to Gastric Bypass? There's probably another forum where I should be typing this. :rolleyes: I did want to "get on the list". Good luck to everyone ... I'm so ready!!!

So the horrid diarrhea has evolved into really bad nausea (no vomiting so far thank goodness) and dizziness. I had probably a dozen patients this week with a stomach bug. This is making me nervous!!!! I cannot be sick Monday!!! Heck, we've had me on tamiflu for 2 weeks trying to make sure I didn't catch the flu from patients (it's rampant around here right now), if a stomach bug takes me down I will be more than upset!!!! Fingers crossed...

Actually it's 1 day and 23 hours....not that I'm counting or anything!!!! :D. It has been a LOT of fun watching the list grow! Started as a post about how close I was and 400+ comments later....really glad we all have each other. I have AMAZING support from my friends and family but they don't understand like y'all do :)
