One week from today, January 8th, I'll be having my surgery. I'm all sorts of excited and can't wait for this to happen. Do any of you post op people have any last minute advice? How did you feel coming out of anesthesia? I'm getting a little ancy, nothing that would make me change my mind about having the surgery, it's more like pre wedding jitters. Hopefully some of you can relate.

I have yet to post today on my blog because I don't have any followers yet so I'm asking here instead. If anybody wants to check it out its www.findingsassy.com. I'll be posting my before pics either Tuesday or Wednesday and post surgery pics for those that have asked what we look like right after the surgery.

Anyone else have the 8th as their surgery date? It would be nice to have a same day pal to talk with.

Thanks every one for your continued support, everybody here has been so much better than my own family.

Just be prepared for the painful bloated feeling you get in your lower abdomen area. I had no idea what it was but I had to have morphine for 24 hours. Everything else was a piece of cake, as they say. The only thing now, 8 weeks post op, is that I absolutely cannot have more than a half a cup of anything or I feel nautious. Horrible feeling for an hour or two. Kind of like morning sickness, nothing sounds, good, nothing tastes good. But last 3 days, I have been doing better. I don't regret a minute though.

I only remember waking up in my room with my sister there! They had me on pain meds every 4 hours so I don't remember feeling much pain. Except for the gas pain, which you have to walk a lot to get rid of. Have never had any nausea or dumping. I think you will be just great.
