I'm new to this app. I've been reading alot of posts over the last couple of days. Alot of good info. Right now im really nervous. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have 3 kids. Ages 11,9, and 2. I'm so afraid of leaving them behind. I just want to wake up. I've been waiting for this for so long and now I just don't know...

Im definitely going to go thru with it. I pray I'm making the right decision. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes I felt the same way. Sending you courage. Have faith everything will be ok. See if they will give you a Valium prior to them wheeling you into surgery. I had Valium and it really relaxed me. I too was terrified.

Thank you. I will definitely ask for it. How was the pain?

It was tolerable. Your on strong meds. Nurses were always asking how my pain was, always ready to give more if needed. You are up and walking within 6 hrs. Force yourself to get up. The nurses helped me the first time to get out of bed and helped me walk but after that I did everything on my own. Just listen to what the nurses tell you. You will do great.
The pain was a 6 for me...childbirth and kidney stone were a 10 !

Rather than focusing on "what could go wrong" in relation to your surgery.... Instead, focus on the many obesity related health concerns your surgery will help to correct:)

It's easy to second guess yourself when you're in a stressful spot. Trust your saner self...the person who researched and worked hard to get here.

You're going to do great. Wishing you the best.

Saying prayers and excited for you! Hopefully you're able to sleep.

Thank you. I'm checking in now

You are absolutely doing the right thing and your healthly future..Wake up, walk get liquids in and you'll be home soon with the kiddos. You've got,this my dear and I believe you'll be just fine.
