I am currently sitting in pre op! Gown on waiting for iv! This is going down at 7:30am! Nervous but ready!

Good luck!!! I pray everything goes well!

Best of luck. My surgery is Monday. We got this!

Good Luck you will do great

It was 7:38 when I read this...It's happening! Lots of good wishes!!!

<sliding over>.....got you a spot (pointing down to seat) here on the LOSERS bench!

let us know that you are ok when you can -

I am in my room and doing ok! Surgery was started a tad late. But at 9:46 they told my husband things were ok and I was in recovery.

Honestly, so far so good. Pain of course but not too bad. Pain meds are our friends. I am a little bummed I didn't get a pain pump/button. Gotta wait on the nurses. Gas isn't too bad, hope it stays that way.

I'll update more later! I want everyone to get the scoop that's planning on doing this!

Glad all went well and that so far you are resting comfortably!

Congratulations! Glad to hear the gas isn't too bad. Have a relaxing night!

Congratulations. I know you are relieved that the surgery is over. Keep us posted. Mine is 6/22.

It's now 3am and I am feeling better. I've taken a few walks and bathroom trips, I did not have a cath! I am on Dilaudid and of course that helps. Anyone considering this surgery, don't be scared. So far, so good.

Just had my upper GI and no leaks. Not gonna lie it tastes awful and makes you want to puke. But it's just another thing that has to be done.

How you doing today?

I'm feeling a little gassy tonight in the neck and shoulders area. But it's not horrible. Just need to move it around and out. Can't pass any just yet even though I've been walking a lot. I will most likely go home tomorrow.

Congratulations, glad to hear your surgery went well. Keep us updated.
