Hey y'all! So after many issues with my paperwork and insurance my surgeon's office finally got the approval letter this morning and was able to order my pre-op labs this afternoon and finally schedule my surgery. They told me a month ago it would be on May 18th and I wasn't really nervous even throughout the weekend. Now that everything is finalized and it's definitely happening Wednesday I'm starting to get incredibly nervous! Did anyone else feel this way once everything was finalized? Also any advice is appreciated!

-God bless!

Yes I know exactly how you feel. Its best to just stay focused on the end goal (your surgery!). You have come a long way and gotten over many hurdles. The moment you have worked so hard and long for is here. This is your time! Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you are doing.

One week post op having lap band removed. Now need to loose 15-20lbs then back in for bypass. Laproscopically procedures are So nice. First day is the worst day and that is not even so bad, I went home same day.Now with longer surg.( bypass) I dunno how much worse, I imagine it won't be as easy as band was but, way way easier than an open procedure. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and weight starts to fall off, that really makes any residual pain fly away. You will do soo great so smile and get excited life is gonna get so much better!!!!
