My date is April 9th :-)

Congrats!!!!! Prayers that all will be well!!!!

My surgery is tomorrow. I am to be at the hospital at 12:45 and surgery is scheduled for 2:19...yes, not 2:20 but 2:19, why I don't know! I'm getting really nervous and anxious now! I have my bag all packed and ready to go. Now I just have to wait for 10 a.m. to be on my way. Hospital is just a little over 2 hours away!

Thanks! Hopefully everything comes through ASAP. I've been a ball of emotions. Anxious, nervous, excited...all in one. Scared to shop for anything, but I know I'll need new everything in stages. I guess my summer wardrobe will be cute tees, maxi skirts and workout gear.

That is wonderful Wickedbeauty, I am so glad that you have your approval. I am waiting on my date as well. I have had my approval from the insurance for a while, was waiting on my stress test results (which got lost...). My appointment for pre-op is April 14 and I hope to get my surgery date then. I can not wait to make this change in my life.

I had mine yesterday at 6am and they just gave me liquids about an hour ago, I'm not hungry at all. And I'm full off one little medicine cup of water haha my advice is to bring aquaphor or Vaseline or something because your lips get soooo chapped! And definitely tell them when you're in pain or nauseous, they will help for sure

Thanks!'

I am in a small town called Howard. About 15 minutes from Mount Vernon.

Where are you having your surgery? I am having mine at Riverside in Columbus.

My date is April 28. I have no pre-op diet but I am on my own learning about shakes and different meal options.

Try not to get too worked up. It's going to be fine.

I had mine yesterday, much easier than anticipated. Ask me any questions you may have!

I was told I will have 6 port holes, 4 smaller and 2 a little larger. How many did you have? Did you have a drain in?

Honestly I don't know how many I have. I have a drain and one port whole on my side that hurts the most the ones on my tummy I don't feel

Congrats! Hate to tell you this, but that gas probably will exit the other end..lol

You might feel worse, for a couple of days, peaking at about 72 hrs, but then you'll start feeling a little better each day.

Oh wow geesh I thought id feel better as time progressed. At least thats how today went over time pains n feeling seemed less severe. I took a walk and that was good but I ended up with gas pain under rib. Ive mostly been on Tylenol but I took a hit of Diluded after walk because I was worried
