I'm tomorrow at 1:30 pm. It's getting very real now! I'm soooo excited to start this next chapter of my life, but I'm nervous about the anesthesia and stuff. I get terribly sick from it so I hope I'm not throwing up all day tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!!

Best wishes.. I was right there this time last week... and it is going to feel so good to be on the "other" side when it is all over. It gets better everyday. Who said this is the "easy" way out????... its FAR from being easy...yet SO worth it... and I am seeing my body begin to change already and its only been a week! You will do great :-)

I truly wish all of you the best of luck and success in your journey. I can't wait to be at the "night before surgery" moment!!!! Please post after the surgery!! Keep us posted!

Wishing you the best. I'm pre-surgery (don't have a date yet) and I'm oh so scared....but, I was walking around JCP yesterday and was so ill and hurting from being so overweight and I told myself "remember how bad this feels". I can't wait to just get healthy! You will do awesome. Please post about your experience later.

I have Surgery tomorrow the 17th at 11 AM!! A little nervous about the anesthesia, I have never been under so it's all new for me !!

I've been under for the removal if my gallbladder and an endoscopy. I was worried I'd hear or remember something but nope. Nothing but blackness then you wake up.

Good luck and I wish you we'll on your surgery and recovery. Keep us posted on your postop as that is my worry right now.

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.

Lots of good luck and wishing you well tomorrow!!!!

Glitter and Lauren I'm cheering here on the sidelines for ya!!!! Good luck!!!

Thank you SuperFab and others for the encouragement. Getting ready to head to the hospital in a couple of hours but wanted to check back here to wish everyone good luck and prayers for a successful surgery. I am surprisingly calm this morning - hope it stays that way.
