Today is the big day!

My surgery is today July 7th. I have to arrive at 530am ugh! Getting bypass and gallbladder removed. I'm so nervous I feel like vomiting and cannot sleep. I'm so tempted to call and cancel. I would if I wasn't cash pay. Ugh!!! My mom is yelling at me that I'm making a huge mistake that doesn't help me with no support. No one in my family is supportive. I'm just "lazy and need to exercise". I think it's mainly the $20,000 price tag as well. They claim it's a waste of money. =(

Breathe! You will be fine. You have come this far, so do not let anything or anyone stop you. My mother was against me having the surgery as well. So i finally told her I changed my mind, which was a lie, but I Was so tired of the negativity. Now that she sees me 6 weeks post op and 35 pounds lighter, she agrees it was best for me. The surgery is not too bad, my only advice is to get up and walk at least every two hours. It helps so much with the gas pain. The first week you will be very tired and will not want to eat, it's very normal, just try your best to get the fluids in so you do not dehydrate. I wish you the best of luck and cannot wait for you to join the losers bench.

You've gotten this far into the process for a very good reason - you want it more than anything else and it's the right decision for you.

It's perfectly natural to have second thoughts, but don't lend any more credence to the current little voices in your head, and unsupportive family and friends, than you do to all the positive research and testimony you've researched along the way.

There's a lot more than money at stake here, as there is not enough currency in the world that would equal obtaining long lasting health and happiness!

Good luck and congrats!

Definitely not a waste of money. Are there downsides? Yeah, just like any life-changing surgery... but it's definitely for the better. I don't regret having my RNY done.

Being discharged in a little bit. Everything went smoothly. Just some gas pain that's about it.
