I would say more nervous than excited. I've never had surgery before. My main issues are knee and foot pain, which are manageable but I don't want them to get worse. So I expect my quality of life will get a little worse immediately after the surgery before it gets better. I was pretty bummed out about having to start the pre-op diet, but now I'm halfway through it and my mood is getting better. Plus it has helped me lose a couple more pounds. I guess I have been so focused on getting ready for surgery that I haven't spent as much time thinking about how great things could be a few months from now!

How about you?

I'm 1/2 through my preop & slipped up by eating taco salad & oh my God I'm sick haha. I'm nervous but I have had 5 major surgeries so I'm kinda like cool, come at me bro. Lmao

I'm just ready for a change. To be healthy & use this as a tool as it's meant. To spend a better quality of life with my son <3

That is my day too! First surgery as well so that freaks me out even more I think than the sleeve right now. The pre op is blah I think the only way I have been like 95% compliant and 100% these last days is because focused on Tuesday.

Made it through the first night. My surgery was at 4:00pm and I walked around the floor around 10pm. Some pain but it's manageable. Looking forward to having my family visit today. And drinking water... Best thing I brought to the hospital was ear plugs. How is everyone else doing?

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
