Surgery tommorow!

Tomorrow is the day! As of right this second, I am ready and I am not nervous. I hope I remain calm and not nervous. Worst thing is I don't have to be at the hospital until noon. I think I can handle the not eating till then, but not sure about the not drinking! Anyway - wish me luck and pray that all goes well for me. Thanks!

Congrats !!!!! So exciting!!! I'll say a little prayer that everything goes well!!

My surgery is tomorrow too! I have to be there at 8am. Have you done the two weeks liquid diet, and today clear liquids? I definitely understand, I would go crazy if I couldn't drink an You will probably add a couple hours to that once at the hospital? Good luck! This is such an exciting journey!

My surgery is tomorrow also, 11 am, I have to be there at 9am. I didn't even think about the no water thing , ughhh! I am so excited and nervous. I will never be this weight again in my life, that is such a great feeling. Good luck with your recovery!

I did not have to do a two week pre-op diet. I am on clear liquids today though. I hope and pray your surgery goes well too!

Good luck with surgery. I wasn't nervous when I went in for surgery either, but then again I was in denial!!!

I'm tomorrow, as well. But I have to be at the hospital at 6:30a so the no eating/drinking thing isn't going to be that difficult for me. I'm going to wake up, get dressed, throw my stuff in the van and head out.

Congrats to you all , please remember don't drink you don't want anything in your system good luck you got this.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. Good luck and prayers to everyone else having their surgery!

Hope all of your surgeries go well and may god be by your side! My surgery was yesterday and recovery so far has been very hard. I wish everyone luck :)

Well I made it through the surgery and now wait to see when I can go home today . Initially the pain post-op was bad. It felt like someone was laying on my chest and kicked my side. After drugs and walking and a nap I started to feel better. I slept very little 2 to 4 hours at a time , hospitals are loud and bright! My throat was sore and my mouth was dry like the desert . I read the boards for support and review before and after pics to keep me inspired. I have a lot of weight to lose to reach goal and seeing that other sleevers have done it successfully makes me believe I can do it too, thank you!

Thinking of you both and wishing you the best today! Come back and let us know how you're doing when you're up for it!

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thanks for posting your update, I know what to look forward to today.

My surgery is at 1 pm today. The no liquids/ no food is getting to me now, hopefully 1 pm will get here soon.

Thank you for your well wishes. I wish you well today with your surgery . It will go fast once they get you in pre-op. Then you will wake up in recovery and hopefully you will get a room soon after that. Speak up if your in pain. Be ready for little sleep in the hospital, they are loud and bright. Bring lip balm with you, it will make you feel better since you will not be able to drink. I look forward to having ice chips and then broth if I pass my upper GI today. I never thought I would be happy about that! Good luck , stay calm and focus on your goals. Take care!
