Mine is this Wednesday! 4/18! Super nervous but also very excited!

Mine is one week after yours. I'm excited also

My surgery is on April 16th (less than one week). I had my pre-op appointment today. I am really excited. THe nervousness has subsided for now, I am in the mode of "let's get this over with" but I am sure this weekedn the nervousness will return.
Good luck to everyone!

My bypass surgery is 4-16 as well!

Are you people,still relaxed or getting a little anxious as time gets shorter before your surgeries. Golly I hope I get to join you all pretty soon. will be sending you good healthy healing thoughts. ?Smile this part of the journey is almost over, the Bench of Victory is now in sight. Go for it folks, go for it!?

I’m 10 days away from surgery and feeling remarkably relaxed. Actually feeling empowered to finally be nearly on the road to a new and healthier future. The 2 week pre op is making me feel in control. I’m feeling excited at the moment.

@Lyne13 my little Dayton buddy, glad to see your post and know surgery is just around the corner.?

I’m not anxious. I’m feeling energized and excited. I’m super motivated and can’t wait for my better life to begin. No worries at all.

My surgery is April 18th. I am feeling excited and ready to go. I've been waiting for so long. I just want to sit on the losers bench.

My VSG is on Monday. I feel like the pre-op diet must be the hardest part. I have three weeks of liquids after my surgery, one week clear and two weeks full, but my understanding is I won’t be as hungry. I hope that is true!! Goodness...

I am absolutely excited it's almost here! The past 15 days have been hard with this diet but I did it and didn't cheat AT ALL! I'm also nervous but that's too be expected. I have everything done so today I just waitfor a phone call for my surgery time!

Hi again! I did it! Woop! MGB performed on the 17th, out on the 19th, home and recuperating well.

Having been banded up until a few years ago, I’m already pleasantly surprised by the differences I feel. There has been less pain which is a surprise.

I’m struggling a bit to get the required amount of fluid in but feeling awesome despite this. Roll on the rest of my life

How is everyone else doing?

Congratulations! I'm glad yout feeling good!

I had my bypass on the 19th and I'm currently in the hospital but will be getting out sometime this morning. I have to say it wasn't nearly as bad as I though it would be.. Not a lot of pain and I'm keeping everything down. So hopefully it stays that way!

Nice job to the both of you! Congrats and happy healing! Remember to walk and drink [emoji16]

@ kandk122907 did you get out on the 21st like you hoped? Are you now home and how are you feeling? Hoping sunny days are ahead for you?

@Frustr8 I did get out on the 21st and I'm actually feeling better than expected! I have some soreness but that's about it!
