Surgery is tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my big day! I am very excited, and a bit nervous. Not really nervous about starting my new life, more nervous about the actual getting put to sleep, and the procedure. Worried about possible complications and things of that sort. Once the surgery is done, I am sure I will be here on the boards continually for questions, advice, tips and tricks. I am very glad that there is a place where we can get support on our journeys.

@@saffron280 - welcome to the BP family. It is scary. I had the same worries, but the fear of diabetes, other health issues and getting heavier far out weighed (bad pun) the fear of surgery itself. I had no issues and still no REGRETS, only, like others - that I didn't do it earlier!

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I have my bag packed, and all of my last minute errands, household chores, etc. done, so all that is left is eat my dinner and snack and try to relax for the rest of the evening. I don't have to be at the hospital until 12:15 tomorrow, and I am pretty sure that I will have lots of time on the ride to the hospital ( it's 60 miles) away to battle last minute butterflies.

I will update tomorrow evening.

Hi Saffron, tomorrow is my big day as well. I had to work today so I am getting ready to pack my bag for tomorrow. I am so excited all positive vibes here. I've studied the wt loss surgery book from the office, watched all the YouTube videos and debated to change my mind so I'm just ready to get this show on the road, lol.

My plan is different. I have to do it only for the day prior to my surgery.

I hope it's your best tasting dinner!!! Lol. I'm surprised you didn't have to do a liquid diet all the way up to the end. I've heard lots of people talking about that. Noon is a good time. Gives you one to get up and move at your own pace and not rush. Find where your going! Oh those butterflies! But oh so worth it! Your gonna do wonderful! I wish you luck!!! Safe travels also!

I will update tomorrow evening.

I too have a two week liquid diet prior to surgery so your not alone???? My doctor told me yesterday 7-10 days. And 2 weeks after also. How new into this are you Sinnombre723? I'm half way through. I'm planning for an April sleeve
