I'm nervous but mostly excited!!!!!

Annoyed too, because it looks like my date is being pushed off a bit.

Oh really? By how long??
Are you on the pre op diet? I'm on day 5 today, feeling positive!
The surgery itself is terrifying me, I can deal with pain but it's the unknown of what I'll feel like afterwards that is scaring me! Plus I've never had a general anaesthetic before so I'm terrified I won't wake up! [emoji27]

I'm okay with the unknown because I'm so excited... But I want to be done already!!! We're looking for dates after October 15th and I'm annoyed.... Not on pre op yet. Go you!

My pre op isn't as bad as some I've read about! I'm actually allowed solid foods [emoji3]...currently I'm 210lbs, hoping to lose some on pre op. In the US is it an over night stay in hospital too?

I'll only be allowed liquids, and I'm being an outpatient. Currently about 213 lb.

So we're pretty similar! I just really hope this works without complications, it would be an expensive waste of money if it didn't!

Congrats! I am scheduled for my first fill this Monday. So far I have lost 12 lbs. The surgery itself for me was not bad at all! Post op I'd say it took me a full to days to feel like "myself" again.
