I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

Thoughts and prayers Can't wait to hear from you later

So, it's 0457 and I have slept all I am going to sleep, still tired but way too wound up to go back to bed. Honestly I am shocked I got as much sleep as I did. So in a scant 6 hours I will be under the knife, closing one chapter of the book of life and opening a new one. Honestly, the last chapter was so full of heartache and sorrow, I do not miss seeing it go. I am now fixated on the future. WIsh me well.

Wish you the best, praying for a complication free surgery and a speedy recovery.

Congratulations to all the ones having surgery today. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to follow your progress and can't wait to join you on the losers bench.

@@Deanah Glad your home & with little pain! Hope your able to get more protein in today!

Thanks! I will just trust in the process and keep trying my best.

Best of luck to everyone making their old/new transition today! I was released yesterday and with the exception of some pain (totally manageable) and a leaky drain sight, I'm great! I haven't been able to keep up with everyone this weekend as I had my phone and the app kept crashing so I'm playing catchup. I LOVE reading all the posts of those of us about to start this leg of the journey. If you are about to have your surgery, trust me, it's over in a flash. There is some discomfort but I can tell you, if you get up ASAP and walk, it'll make all the difference. Even if you let out a howl (like I did) when you get up out of that bed, DO IT. The sooner you are up and moving, the quicker you will recover. You can't wait to read about everyone's progress!!!

Congratulations and prayers with those who go in today. Praying for a speedy recovery and the good Lord take control of your surgeons hands.

Just got my approval

My surgery date is Oct 23rd

I am so scared, nervous, and excited at the same time. I just pray I can get a calmness about myself before my date. I start my liquid diet this Friday.

Hello nervous nana Glad you finally got your approval!! I will add your date to our October list of Surgery's! I went to my GP and got a low dose of anxiety meds which have helped me tremendously!! Some days are worse than other's about feeling scared but this forum really helps!
