Surgery on the 8th

Anyone else have surgery on the 8th? I would love to have a surgery partner. I am so scared right now. My mother knows 2 people personally who died from bypass, 10-15 years ago. I didn't tell her until last weekend because I knew that she would be negative. I am 52 years old and want to live to see my grandchildren. I need to stop reading the internet and seeing horror stories! My husband, children, and best friend are supportive. I know she is scared for me, but I really need to be positive right now.

I am getting so nervous! I get my call today on the time for Monday. I have now lost only 1.2 pounds on the liver shrinking diet! This is why I am getting this surgery! My metabolism is 0! I really hope this works! Debbie, I haven't received your facebook invite yet. Looking for it. I am excited to have someone to go through this with. Do you want to be with us Hobecat?

GM...... Its getting close can you go on fb and send me a friend req? @ Debi ChaseValdez . I tried to look you up but had no luck. I am in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I am sure the pounds will be rolling off once we have the surgery! I have dropped 13 in 10 days. Today is a rough day having some hunger pains

I am undergoing gastric sleeve surgery on 9th Dec. I would love to have a surgery partner. Good luck to both of you.

Thinking of all ya'll tomorrow! :)

I also am having mine on the 9th pinky588 I would love to have a surgery partner also

I'm scheduled for 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. Eeeeeek! I really hate that it's so late in the day, not just because I'm so anxious, but because I won't even be able to drink any water all day! Good luck to everyone tomorrow and later this week. Sending good vibes your way! ????

Good luck to everyone who is having surgery today or tomorrow. Mine is also late in the afternoon so I can understand the concern on not being able to drink. I am also worried about going into hypoglycemic shock. Where are you located?
