I am having my surgery tomorrow. TOMORROW - I can't believe I am saying that. I was originally scheduled for Thursday but my surgeon changed it to Monday. I am scared out of my mind. I am down 12 pounds already from the pre-op diet. That is huge motivation but I am so nervous. I think the only two things that really scare me are not waking up (risk with any surgery) and the pain after. I have watched so many youtube videos of people right after the surgery. I know everyone is different but stressing is one of the things I do best. Any words of encouragement would be nice to hear today.

my surgary is tomorrow too.you are not alone.my stomach is in knots. I have had a lot of surgarys but this is different the only think I kept telling myself is I will be better and healtier.you have done the hard part.when we wake up we will start a new life.good luck to everyone that is having surgary tomorrow.will talk to all when I can see ya.

surgery tomorrow. - scared

MoonShun

some/most/all of "us" sleevers are nervous/scared/excited/anxious

all these emotions are normal

hopefully /probably you will wake up !!!!

99.99999% of people have no/minimal problems

but you should feel better daily

most people do have some pain immediately after surgery

gas issues are very common - but walking helps that issue

"try" and calm down/and get some sleep tonight

sweet dreams thinking about your new, healthier, happier, longer

good luck

speedy recovery

Sending prayers up for everyone who is having surgery tommorow, My surgery is for March 25, next Tuesday... I wish I was going in tomorrow, the waiting is the worst.

Soon you will be past this surgery stage...ready to transform out of the weight cocoon and emerging into the butterfly, flying free. God Bless!

I'm on the 25th too!

I hope waiting is the hardest part!

My surgery is tomorrow too. I have the same fears. Praying for all of us

Well I made it! Everyday I feel little bit better but if I am being totally honest, only a LITTLE bit. I came home from the hospital today. I still have gas pains and a crick in my neck. I really feel if those stopped hurting so much I would be tons better. I can't believe I am on this side now. It's crazy!

just got home from hospital.well it has been hard.theyhad to catheter put in 12 hours after because I could not pee.yes they sent me home with it.there is some blood in it.i have a hard time even dring water.knot what I expected.hope it gets betterhow is everybody elseone else that had surgary on monday

My surgery was Monday. Not going to lie, I felt pretty awful that night. Tuesday was better but not by much. Finally starting feeling normal if you will by around 8pmish Tuesday night. Went home from the hospital today, Wednesday at noon. I feel good but very sore, sleepy. Surgery and pain was way worse than I imagined, the catheder and the drain hurt bad...but I feel better every hour even. Hope everyone that had surgery this week is fairing well! Keep us posted!

I hope you feel better. My surgery is scheduled for this Friday, and I'm not looking forward to the first couple of days post op. Hang in there. Everyone says it gets better.
