12 Hours Until My Surgery Check-In!

I'm scheduled to check-in for gastric sleeve surgery at 5 am tomorrow morning. I was getting a bit of cold feet earlier this week, but feel remarkable at peace about this now. After a year of pre-op appointments, an insurance nightmare, cancellation of my first surgery date iin September in the middle of my pre-op diet, and now finishing a four-week pre-op diet, I am definitely looking forward to this now!

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I'll be sure to check-in when I can. Assuming that all goes well, the plan is for me to be released the same day.

Best of luck barryswife!

My surgery went well yesterday. My surgery time was 7:30 am and I was discharged by 1:30 pm that day because I was walking around and able to tolerate liquids. I'm in less pain than I expected from the surgery and am moving around pretty well. The nausea is not fun, but I expect that will improve in the next few days. I hope things went well for everyone else!
