I get my surgery tomorrow morning at 10am. I thought I could handle this like all my other surgeries but I'm a little nervous. I think it's the afterwards that scares me. Can I do it, will I be able to do it? I live in Austin, TX.

Hi,

I'm being sleeved tomorrow!

I'm in France, so I can be a buddy from afar :-)

I know you won't be ready this soon since it's the 14th today, so I hope all went well!

You can do this!

I have the same trepidation as you about afterwards. How bad will it be? Will I be able to stand it?

I mean, my second child was 9lbs and my epidural stopped working and I was able to do that, but I also wasn't able to finish getting a tattoo because I got lightheaded and threw up! I don't know if I can trust what I thought my pain tolerance is anymore. I just don't want to be a sobbing, snotty mess afterwards. But, if I am, I am and hope they keep the good pain meds coming my way. :)

I don't have to be at the hospital until 1.30p est, but I'll definitely be keeping you in my thoughts!

You guys have this. I had my surgery just over a year ago and very happy I did it. You will have your up's and down's but keep looking forward. We are all here for you. I am in the north seattle area and if you ever are in doubt I am here. We all need a support structure in place and I have had one of the best.

Keep up the great work.
