Chrisb428, I guess is normal to be nervous; in my case I already had it done 6 days ago. I had a laparoscopic surgery before; therefore, I was familiar with the pain of that type of surgery and the air pressure pain that in my case travels to my shoulder. I didn’t know about the pain of the surgery though. So let me tell you I prepared mentally for the worst pain for a couple of days. However, the pains I can described are two. The one for the air pressure you ask for pain medicine every time they can give you; for example they shid you can have it every 4 hours then you asked the nurse to give it to you every time. Then you walk, that will allow you burp or fart, Yes the best two things can happen to you after surgery Then until I got home a different kind of pain like someone has punched you in your stomach, but if you continue with the pain medicine at least the first two days every allowed time then you will see if you can start taking them every 6 hrs instead of every 4. Walk and walk, take liquids every 15 minutes, campbell chicken noodle Soup strained is awesome; my mom made her own so that is what I have been drinking for lunch time and dinner timer. I know everyone is different but my husband and I had have pretty much the same; hope this help you a little bit on what to expect if that is your fear. If not; in the name of Jesus I pray; so God can bring peace and calm your heart. We will continue praying for you...remember it is a new beginning and start all over is always scare, but you can do it!

I am kind of freaking out right now. Surgery is tomorrow and i just had a huge wave of emotions hit me. I burst into tears. I have had numerous surgeries and never had this happen before. I hope I can calm down or its gonna be a long day and night.

I'm sure you've heard me say this before, but everything you are feeling is so normal. This is a big deal, but you'll get through it just fine. Keep thinking positive and know we are all here for you!!

I think the reality just sunk in and freaked you out a little. Perfectly normal 😉

Sweetie you are Exactly as I was!! And I’m 5 days post op!!! This too shall pass. Say a little prayer, put it in His hands and breathe deeply. You will do great! This is a gift of another chance. Write down all the reasons you want to loose fat (from noble to vein), and read them over and over! Stay focused, tomorrow by this time surgery will be behind you.

Blessings and love!
