Tomorrow is the big day for me.. I'm so grateful for this forum and people who are willing to be open about their experiences. I pray that I do not have complications, but I know it's a risk worth taking. Please keep me in your prayers

Good luck tmmw. My very good friend is also having it done tmmw. Will be here thinking of you both

Prayers that you have peace and may the Lord guide your surgeon's hands.

Good luck, do what they tell you and let us know how you are doing...

Best of luck! Stay strong, be brave!

Good luck to you and know that this is a chance for a healthier life. It hard work but it is worth every bit of the effort!

So exciting, can't wait to hear how everything goes. My day is Wednesday, I couldn't agree more. It is worth it.

I pray that all is wonderful for you. I am day 2 preop. Trying to remain hydrated and get my protein in at the same time. Small sips of protein and ice cubes is getting me through.

Sending hugs and positive vibes your way! You're going to do great!

See you on the losers' bench very soon

Thank you all so much! I appreciate you guys taking your time to offer thoughts and encouragement! God bless!

I have my surgery, Wednesday. 9/24/2014 I'm excited and a bit nervous at the same time!!

Good luck! I'm 3 days post-op and the majority of my pain is in my throat from being under general anesthesia.

Well today is day 2... Full of ups and downs but hoping the worst is over. It definitely give you time to think.. Part of me is hoping that all of this is worth it and the other part isn't convinced... I know it's natural to question while you're in pain.. But I know I spent a lot of time deciding to do it.. And there's no going back now lol

I had those exact same thoughts the day after my surgery! I'm now 5 days post-op and feel amazing... minus the left side muscle pain. It gets so much better each day... trust that and remain positive! :-)

Thank you.. Because right now I just feel miserable. I'm hoping by next week I'll feel much better.

Glad to report that after the initial few days of misery... It has subsided and I'm feeling much better everyday! It's important to be prepared for how awful you will probably feel initially after surgery.. But recovery is rather quick so just keep the goal in mind! Thank you for everyone's thoughts and prayers
