Why can't I be excited.....I am craping my pants! Fear of complications and I don't mind the diet I guess but when you feel hungry it is hard to imagine not feeling that way all the time after WLS.

I glad we can all chat here...I too can't wait to ditch the CPAP!

I feel you I'm very afraid to but I have confidence in my surgeon I'm thinking what if I don't change my eating habits and what if I fail at this miserably I've been started to change my main eating habits also by putting Protein first and everything else second. I'm having surgery on 26 November and i'm officially one week pre op.

I've heard a lot of people lose the hunger, it's the head hunger you really have to get over. Jacqbult where are you having surgery? The hospital I'm going to has a very good rating and the actual surgery is safer than giving birth so that was reassuring for me and my worried husband :)

So how are the nerves? I'm due at the hospital at 6am on Monday. I have to be up at 4am to take a pill called emend (for nausea). I'm super nervous but excited for this journey.

I'm due at the hospital at 9:30. Surgery at 11:30. I'm ready for this band to come out.

My surgery is tomorrow...I have to be there at 7:15am. OMG. The Hospital I am going to In Michigan is one of the Highest rated in Michigan and my surgeon is rated 3rd in the country. But still I am a nervous wreak.

Wouldn't it be fun is we could all be in pre-op together....chatting about everything....

I'm due at the hospital at 4:30 am. They said no water 8 hours prior, so when am I supposed to take the pepcid prescribed?

My doc sd a sip of water for the pill is fine

I got an early one, 6:30 am. but it is an hours drive to the hospital. I am getting nervous as well. Major step we are making here, but we can do it.

This is for KASUMI!

Sorry I am new here and do not how to reply to comments lol. The nurse told me to take at home right before you are leaving to the hospital with a tinny sip of water just enough to sallow it ;-).
