My surgery is in 15 hours and I most certainly have a case of the jitters . Packed and ready , haven't told a soul beside my wife. I'm optimistic and know each and every journey is a bit different but just wish the jitters went away.

You've got this! Congrats on surgery and remember that each day you will feel many times better than the day before!

Good luck and a speedy recovery.

Mine is a revision, I had a lap band for the last 5 years and it prolapsed . All of my saline was removed three months ago and my stomach has had a chance to heal . The lap band needs to be removed and don't want to go through this again so I decided to go with the sleeve.Everything looks good on all of the tests and no damage from the prolapse was found .

Just think about how happier and healthier you'll be in 2014. Wishing you success and keep us posted!

I'm right here with you! I have 20 hours left and I'm sweating it out in a hotel until its time to be picked up for surgery tomorrow. Good luck, everything will be great. Odds are forever in our favor.

Thank you so much for the kind words, see you on the other side.

I had my freak out moments 2 days before surgery and again day of, at the clinic, in my gown with IV fluids already going in. My sister volunteered to sneak me outa there and spend the weekend in TJ sampling tequila if I wasn't 100% sure. Needless to say, I stayed and am so happy and relieved to be on the sleeved side. You will be fine and jitters are totally normal.
