Tomorrow is the big day! All I keep thinking is at this time tomorrow I’ll be a post-op girl. My nerves are in high gear though. I’m so nervous that something will happen at the last minute like all of a sudden I get symptoms of the bug going around where I teach or the doctor won’t like the number on the scale before surgery. I don’t know. I’m just all over the place. Of all things to be scared of from this surgery, I’m freaking out about the IV.

My bag is packed, and I’m ready! I’ll stop with the rambling now.

Good luck, I am 1 week post op and feeling pretty good. The worst pain was right after I went to the room.. it wasn't the incision pain, but from the gas. I got up and walked 20 mins after I went to the room and that really helped. I was doing great soon afterward. This has not been that bad.. I had 3 c sections and a Tummy Tuck and this has been the easiest surgery I have ever had. Prayers for you and a quick recovery.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m so glad you are doing so well. I heard the gas is awful.

My surgery will be sometime in December, and like you, it's not everything I have to do that has me it the needles that I'm terrified of. Do what I do, close your eyes tell the nurse just get it done done count down or say anything just get it in. I truly helps

      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!!
