Three weeks to go! I'm ready

Ok guys it's three more weeks until my surgery date! :-). Yeah! I'm feeling like a winner. I was scared, reluctant, and insecure about having bariatric surgery, but as my surgery date approaches my mood has changed. I'm not afraid of sagging skin or hair loss. I'm afraid of not seeing my only child not graduate high school or being there when she graduates from college. Since her dad is gone I will walk my baby down the aisle one day. These thoughts bring me joy and I'm ready for life and I will no longer exist.

My surgery is October 1st too. Good luck to everyone :)

Im so ready to get this done :)

I had mine done on 9/22! Home and feeling pretty good. I've got a bit of the gas pain in my shoulder but it definitely better today than yesterday. Does anyone know when we're supposed to poop post op? Don't feel the urge, but it's been like four days?
