Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

I'm out of surgery and been resting. The morphine pump is doing a fantastic job of keeepingn me out of pain. But t also makes t hard to focus. I'll do a more thorough update when I get off the morphine. Thank you fr all your thoughts and prayers everyone!!! Xoxox

So happy your doing good get some rest!

My surgery is April 16th can't wait

Yay same as mine

Pre op appointment tomorrow ....what goes on at your pre op appt? !

Well tomorrow is the day! Be at the hospital at 5:30am for a 7:30am surgery. I am doing bowel prep (yuk!) today after 2 weeks liquid diet and last two days of clear liquid only. I am ready to have a permanent seat on the losers bench! I hope all went well with our big group of Monday surgeries. Sending prayers and healing thoughts for everyone!

Good luck Mary!!! You're almost there!!

Pre op appointment tomorrow ....what goes on at your pre op appt? !

At my Pre op appt I met with the surgeon and he went overt medical history with me, felt my abdomen, gave me a prescription for at home pain relief, told me to buy Gas-X and Prilosec OTC. Then they weighed me again and did a test to determine my metabolic rate and body fat percentage.

Hi All - not too much pain at all. I'm just extremely tired. My surgeon was late so I was @ 11 instead of 10:30 AM. I walk the length of the bed 7 hrs post op. Praying all other Apr 8ths ate doing well.

What time is your surgery Vanna? Mine is at 8am. Getting nervous!

Mines at 9 have to been thete at 7. getting wicked nervous. Made sure im.all shaved seeing how they c alit of u lol. Half way packed getting homework done now thats due in thursday

So happy those who've had surgery today are doing well. Get some rest! Try to get up and walk tomorrow, even if a lap at a time then rest. It helps more than you realize. And sip, sip, sip. Today was just the first step towards the rest of your life! Congrats!

Hello! I did great with zero complications. I'm in a little pain but its being treated with meds. I had to walk three laps yesterday which was pretty easy. Today I'll have to walk 6-8 laps. I am also going home today around 5pm. Can't believe I'm a post opper!! I hope everyone else's went well and good luck to everyone that's having surgery today! This is so exciting!
