I'm huge on networking and would like to connect and talk to people who are getting the surgery done around the same time as I am or a few weeks before me. I am very very excited and want to share my journey!

It's here. Up earlier than I wanted to be. Cat woke me up. My surgery isn't until 2:15 and I don't have to check in until 11:30. Good luck to those who have early morning surgeries today!!

Good luck to you! I am early AM tomorrow, but my surgery center is 4 hours away so I'm leaving tonight after I sit the kids down for dinner. Give us a shout tonight to let us know how it goes.

Tomorrows the BIG day!! Super excited but not about the dos (discomfort of surgery), but about this new journey or chapter in my life! Prayers for successful surgeries & recoveries for us all!

I'm excited for us also! And I agree I'm nervous about the dos also!!

Literally in pre-op right now! Nerves are under control at the moment though, thank God.

I hope everything went well! Keep us posted!,Hoping for a speedy recovery for you!!

It is the worst pain ever. I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repaired at the same time so they said my pain would be much worse than just a sleeve. I just hope the pain chills out soon!

I'm so nervous about tomorrow. I haven't been nervous until today! I'm having a tubal ligation at the same time but that's not why I'm nervous.

Mine is tomorrow, and I still haven't gotten a call about what time to be there! I'm going to call them if they don't call me in the next ten minutes. Like I need to worry about them forgetting to schedule me!

Otherwise just gathering up a few things to bring to the hospital - toothbrush, book, phone charger, pillow....

My surgery is on the 23rd of this month. Geting excited and nervous all at the same time. :D:wacko:

Thank you so much! I'm in the hospital waiting for my nurse to start this process. My surgery is at 11am. Nerves are up there!!! Good luck this afternoon

Made it through pretty well. In pain but expected. Can't sleep so thought I'd drop a quick update. Was told I'd probably be here two nights. No fluids yet. Have to have upper GI first thing and then I can attempt drinking. Keep brushing my teeth because all the iv meds give me a terrible taste. Blech. Moving around pretty well.

Awesome congratulations!! I'm doing pretty well also. Walked 3 times last night and went to pi 3 times so. Have not really passed a lot of gas yet. How about you?
