I am having surgery the 28th and have to be in the hospital by 7am which means I need to be out of my house by 545am. I'm excited and stressed. My pre-op diet is going, I'm trying and that's all that matters. Hope everyone is well.

I am completely freaking out. I have been seeing a therapist regarding emotional eating. I have not felt fear since 1987. Since getting in touch with my emotions and not stuffing them with food I am really feeling my emotions. OMGosh. I am having trouble sleeping and concentrating. My tummy is doing crazy things. I need to get it together. Surgery is right around the corner (4/14/14).

Thankfully I have supportive people around me. My employees are super supportive. One is even going to do the pre-op with me! My family have all come around and are supportive of me. I know I will be fine. I have faith in my doctor and I know I am doing the right thing. The reality is setting in now.

I keep repeating 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Are any of you feeling the nerves?

Hi, I'm in pembroke pines and having my surgery April 7. I had my pre op tests done yesterday. I am self pay so the process has been fairly quickly. My fiance has been nothing but supportive and will be with me at the hospital. My emotions and thoughts are all over the place but I have to do this for myself.

best of luck to all April sleevers.

PhatCat oh yes! I'm normally in bed by 9 and 2am is the new norm. :/. I know I just need to make it to surgery day and all will be fine. I think I just have too much darn time to think. I ran a red light this morning because of lack of sleep I think. :/ I've done enough thinking though and running through every scenario possible that I am mentally prepared for all that comes along with this. I think nerves is normal. I just hope I don't give myself an ulcer before the 16th comes.

Then I also have the super excited feeling and anxious like I wish I was over this hump already. I know that we will be fit and fabulous really soon. Trying to stay positive. We got this.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
