Hello everyone I'm new here. My surgery is this thursday 8/30 by Dr. Felix I am so nervous I feel sick. I think the thing that most worries me is how I will feel after surgery, Does it hurt? At the same time I wish it would hurry and get here already. My sister was going to have surgery with me on the same day but her insurance won't approve her until she finishes this supervised diet for 6mos. Now I feel alone.

So if someone could tell me what to expect the day of and after it would be great I'm really scared.

Thank you

Hi there!

I'm pretty sure you can right-click on the ticker you made and copy and paste it into your signature. Go to UserCP in the menu above to modify your signature.

By the way, make sure someone gets you some Gas-X. It was a real life-saver for me! The most pain I had was from the anesthesia--felt like I'd been hit by a truck. I was very sore. I remember being SO happy when I could sleep on my stomach again!

The best advice I can offer is for you to do exactly what your doctor tells you to do if you want the best results. Make sure you take in enough Protein every day and steer clear of the carbs once you can eat solids again.

Glad everything is going well for you so far!

Roo: There is a code that they give you (long web page) after you create the ticker. The first code is the one you need. Back over it. Copy & then go & paste it right under your signature on this board in the same box. You can get to your info. on this site by going to UserCP. So glad to know you are doing well. Welcome to the journey with all of us!!

Congratulations, you must be so excited. It is actually done now. I am looking forward to hear the process that you go thru. Nice to know that you can look at food and not want it. That just doesn't happen to us.
