I'm scared. Scared as f***. This entire process, I've been pretty cool and calm. Not worried too much. Kind of excited. That all ended when the hospital called me today to confirm my surgery and arrival time.

It's the unknown that's freaking me the hell out all of a sudden. How much pain will I be in? How will I handle the anesthesia? Will it make me sick? What if I fail at getting enough protein and water in?

Yikes. [emoji50]

I know it's so scary!! This is where we look into the abyss of the unknown and just have to take a leap. I was scared too. It wasn't an easy process but the results are by far SOOO worth it. You are gonna do great, you are doing something amazing for your future. It's not always going to be easy but it will most likely change your life for the better.

I am having my surgery in June, and I am also scared. I always worry so much about everything, and then, when its over, I realize it wasn't too bad. Good luck, and please let us know how you do!

You will be fine. I was scared too but realize now it is the best thing I have done.

My surgery is in a few days. I was totally calm and cool like you - until about 5 minutes ago when the hospital called to get me pre-registered, and now I'm starting to freak out a little bit.

I am sure you'll do great! You're prepared and ready for this change. It won't be easy, but you'll get though it.

Good luck tell us how it goes??

[emoji813]2017 could it be, a new me? yaaaass please![emoji813]

Good luck. You'll do great

Best of luck to you! Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life!

Good luck

Thank you everyone!! I'm finally post-op. Wasn't as bad as I imagined at all. I'm feeling pretty okay.

Anesthesia has had he sleepy and groggy most of the day. In terms of pain, incision pain in minimal. Just feels like I did lots of push ups. Oh boy, but that has pain is a killer. It really hurts. Walking is the only solution. I've walked every chance I got and I'm going to continue to do that. Also, peeing every 10 minutes! Lol

So happy I did this and I'm excited to start this new journey of my like. Thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and encouragement. [emoji173]
