My surgery is tomorrow and I am so nervous! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45! Holy cow, I only have 6 hours to drink anything! Ahh! I'm excited but my husband has been saying things like "you better make it through this" and "Please don't die" He is really freaking me out! I told him he is suppose to be the support system here! I've got my dishes and laundry done, childcare set up, bills paid, cashiers check in my purse, groceries in the house, and my bags packed. I just hope I'm not forgetting anything! Does anyone have any advice for a scared soon to be post op? Did anyone else have doubts the night before? I saw a cookie in the kitchen and thought that if I ate it I wouldn't have to get an IV in a few hours, lol.

I just started my preop diet. I have been having those feelings for the past few days so I can image how it will feel when I get to the night before. The biggest thing is I keep telling myself is that this is the start of a new life. It's my reset button. Good Luck.

Take a deep breath and relax. Tomorrow will come and go and you'll be on the loser's bench and if feels so good! I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I had a minor bleeding complication which kept me in the hospital for a week but even so I would do it all over again. The scale is moving downward and my clothes are all baggy. It's normal to be nervous and apprehensive. Good luck!

You can do this! One week out. Feeling like me again! You will do great!

Good luck tomorrow. your husband is worried because he loves you. I am getting the same thing from mine...I hope to be sleeved nov 7. you will be fine we will all be waiting to .hear about your success

Don't forget to breathe, lol. I am so excited for you, good luck. Everyone's different, first couple of weeks can be tough - but nothing you won't be able to handle. You sound like a down to earth, organised girl, take the same attitude to being sleeved and you will succeed.

As for your husband, he's watching all of this and probably feels helpless, so you are getting all of his fears off loaded on to you. But I bet he will be supportive post op.

Let us know how you are once you have joined us on the sleeved side :-))))

I am getting sleeved tomorrow also but my time is 1:20 that stinks. I have all morning to think about it. My husband is a wreck also, I guess we should be honored our guys love and worry about us. Good luck my friend. See you on the other side. Bring it on.

OMG!!! Why are they (husbands) that why. I'm just starting the process and my husband doesn't even want to talk about it with me. But I wish you all the luck and my prayers are with you. Everything will be fine

You are going to do great! He is just probably nervous too! Just relax and git er done! Cant wait to hear about your progress!

You will do great! I was terrified the night before thinking I would back out but surprisingly as I walked into the hospital that morning I was excited and ready to start my new life. I am loving life these days. I am one year post op, down almost 100 pounds and I do things I never imagined I would do (i.e., run a 5k, chase after my kid, go hiking, etc.) Good luck and keep us all posted on your progress! I assure you it is the BEST decision you will ever make for yourself!

Good luck!!! Your totally normal! Keep us posted on your progress

I have mine tommorow too! We will do great! Good luck to the both of us.
