Well I made it through 3 weeks of Opti Fast and it was not that bad. I would just kill for a pizza though.... lol. I have my operation tomorrow at 930 am with Dr. Mumford at the SWLC!!! I was scheduled for 1130 but they called and got me in earlier which I am fine with... just get it over with! I have never been under anestisa (spelling lol) so am a little nervous. I hope the gas pain is not that bad either.... wish me luck and thanks to all for the advice over the past few weeks!

Good luck tomorrow you will do fine, I didn't get any gas pain, or sholder pain.

Good luck! it will go by so fast. This will be one of the best decisions of your life!!!

I will also be thinking of you tomorrow and sending good thoughts your way!!

Hi Jacklyn: Congratulations and sleep tight. Everything will go well and before you know it you will be on the other side. Welcome to bandster land. You won't regret your decision at least I sure don't. Doddie

Welcome to bandland Jacklyn

Hi Jacklyn,

You are probably in surgery right about now but I wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you.

Welcome to Bandland!!!:whoo:

Everything will go well for you so dont worry. Biggest thing is pain in the shoulder from the gas. I walked all day, yes all day (sightseeing with a friend whod never been to Toronto) and I had very little problem with the gas. Felt a little sore from incisions for a week or less but compared to other op, this is a doddle.

Will be thinking of you and welcome to bandsterland.

Good luck

Marilyn

Welcome to bandland Jacklyn - hope you're feeling OK.

Thanks to all. Well I am 2 and a half days post op and man am I sore. I really think I underestimated the pain... my shoulder aches like mad and my stomach is constantly rumbling... I am scheduled to be back at work on Monday and hope I can make it.

Those of you who travelled, I am in awe of you I could not be on a plane today I barely want to get out of bed....

I travelled from Toronto to BC after my surgery. I guess i was very lucky as I had no problems. Jacklyn I know you don't want to get out of bed but make sure you do. Get up every hour and walk and cough. Glad you are OK and you start your new journey.

Jacklyn, I am glad to hear that all went well for you. Please do not go back to work before you are feeling up to it. I was told to take 2 weeks to recover before I went back to work and I am glad I did. I hope your trip home goes well.
