    Good Luck to you! Remember that if it feels aweful the first few days it will get better! I got better everyday but the first 3 days were miserable for me I thought I would never feel better but I did. I am almost 3 weeks post op and have lost 14lbs!

    Don't be nervous like i was we made a decision and now it time to finish the process. You will be fine just continue to educate yourself and in the hospital ask questions if you are not sure about something. They put you sleep and you wake with a new tummy!!!

    Everything will be great!!! Just listening to everything the doctor and nurses tell u, make sure u stay on top of the nurses for ur pain meds, and just take a easy. This is the best decision u made!!! Im soo glad I did it!!!

    My surgery is Monday at 11:00am and I know where you are right now. What has helped me get over the jitters is to keep reminding myself why I decided to do this in the first place and what I can look forward to because of it. God bless and prayers for a successful and uneventful surgery and recovery.
