I'm here now. I think my surgery is at 9:30. Good luck guys.

I'm scheduled for July 12th. I'm nervous too. Just hoping for no complications.

The gown and pants they gave me are sooooooooo big I am drowning in them. I hope this is how my fat clothes feel later on down the road !

Im so nervous for you all and wish you all the best good luck everyone ????????????

How about...instead of a book, I bring a fashion magazine with lots of cool clothes I'll be able to wear in about 7 months? That might keep me focused and help with the pain

I brought all of that including a Word search book, phone charger, an H&M catalog, headphones, and those little sugar free single packets in different flavors. I wasn't able to drink anything for 18-20 hours after surgery so make sure you bring dental hygiene to keep your mouth moist. I also brought a journal with me and wrote down all the emotions I was feeling and that really helped me.

Thanks for the wishes everyone! Had some initial pain in the recovery room, but able to walk after pain meds. Just did 10 laps around the unit. Hope everyone is doing well!
