Headed to the hospital in about 45 mins!! It seemed like this day would never get here! I am both excited and nervous as heck!! Praying everything goes smoothly!

Glad to hear you are doing well helps ease my own anxiety

Grandma2tweeties - Yes, I did do the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. Didn't lose as much as I've seen others lose on here but lost 7 lbs the first week and 4 the 2nd. But like the Dr said, when in my life have I ever lost 11 lbs in two weeks. Answer: NEVER!! I'll weigh myself tomorrow to see how I've done this week.

Pretty black dress: Glad it helps! I can tell you, tomorrow is a week since my surgery and I am beyond pleased with how good I feel! I've only had pain (and even that is very slight) from one incision and today that is almost gone. I've had no problems moving or walking. Even went to the mall with a friend and walked around yesterday. Best of luck and I hope your surgery and recovery go well!

Kafallin thanks you do inspire and ease my nerves. Did you get nervous when you were getting close to preop dr date. When you knew it was becoming a reality even though it's what you wanted so bad!

So glad to hear you're doing so well at one week post-op. I'm 3 days post-op and still a bit uncomfortable. I have one incision that's bugging me, the rest feel good.

Grandma2tweeties: I didn't really get nervous until the day before when I was doing laundry and packing! And oddly enough, I wasn't nervous the day of after I got to the hospital. I really didn't have much time...I was in surgery about an hour & 15 mins after I arrived.

Awesome I hope I have np I get scared ever now and then! I don't know why I guess I'm crazy!

Clenzen: you are not crazy to be scared! I think that's perfectly normal!! It is still major surgery.

Quest I pray your recovery steps up quickly too !!! Please keep us posted as days go by and as you move up in ability to eat how it goes for you

Kafallin. I'm also of some of my meds do to a mail order pharmacy mess up. Mr dr told me I'd be extra anxious and shaking and easily annoyed. Kinda of sucks in timing. Might be for the best less meds to have during surgery times will be needed too

Awesome I hope I have np I get scared ever now and then! I don't know why I guess I'm crazy!
