Today is the day and I'm trying to keep my cool. (I'm a nurse and over think things when it comes to surgery.) The whole clears and prep, etc wasn't so bad but the growing headache is wearing on me. I've tried to keep my feelings about the surgery low key. I've been afraid to get excited because at every corner I just knew some glitch would occur. Somehow I made it to this point and have mixed feelings. (I imagine it's quite normal.) I seem to wavering on excitement and guilt, nervousness, eagerness, fear. More of me though just wants to go and just get it done and past me so I can move on! The support I've gotten from other RNY patients, being friends and strangers has been a big comfort to me and very encouraging! So, about to get ready for the hospital...Please send prayers and positive vibes my way!

I had all of the exact same feelings and thoughts on my surgery day. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Best wishes for a speedy uneventful recovery.

Good luck on your surgery and I pray that all goes well for you.

Wishing you the very best of luck!!

Thank you friends. I feel like I've been mule kicked in the gut but all is well

You've made it this far!Get pain meds as needed. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Praying for a speedy recovery! ????

Thoughts and prayers for your recovery. And lots of understanding for all of your mixed emotions.

How are you doing, so far?

The best days are now ahead of you. We nurses are the worst patients, but take your pain med when you feel you need it.

Had my surgery the 16th, and am counting the days until I can have soft foods ie cottage cheese and scrambled eggs. I must say this week of shakes is killing me. Being retired, the fridge seems to chase me around the house.LOL

Each day gets better. Good luck on your journey to a new you!

Good luck

Wishing you well and sending prayers. Hope everything went well
