My surgery is tomorrow as well. Surprisingly I am calmer than previous days. This forum helped to ease a lot of my fears (and created some new ones :) ). I wish for us all best of luck for tomorrow and the journey after.

My surgery is tomorrow also and I'm nervous, too. I've just kept frenetically busy all week preparing and also doing some fun stuff. We installed a wood stove and I spent a lot of time getting wood etc., so this way I can think about coming home to a cozy fire instead of worrying.

Good luck holly! Your gonna do great!

Perfectly normal to be scared. Your surgeon has done this a lot and has seen everything, so not to worry. My surgery was very easy, minimal pain after waking. Nausea only when I took morphine so stuck to tylenol. Walking day one. Stopped pain med day two. By end of week one, it didn't even feel like I'd had surgery. Only discomfort was the drain and once that was out it was smooth sailing. You wil do great and wish you all the best.

Just curious, what drain? This is the first time I heard of a drain. What is it for and how long did you have it?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
