Hi there any surgery buddies? Having surgery on 6/2. I was super excited to do the classes, get approved right away, and finally get a date since I have been waiting since December. I got my self ready shakes, protein water, vitamins and broth. Took 3 weeks off work to recoup. Now I am super nervous and having anxiety. I read so many good post and some bad. I know I shouldn’t be doing that to myself, but like to know what to expect. How are you all coping and getting yourselves ready for surgery?

nervousness is very common before surgeries - I get freaked out every time before I have one!! I had to make myself quit reading the negative stories before I had my RNY surgery. I knew that major complications like that are rare, but they were still freaking me out. I finally had to make myself stop reading them.

We're almost surgery buddies. I'm scheduled for June 3rd. Just had my final testing at the hospital yesterday (upper GI, EKG, bloodwork) and my pre-registration done.

I've stocked up on the same things. My doctor also gave me some protein and vitamin samples. And Miralax...

I can only take a week and 2 days off of work, but since I pretty much just sit at a desk, I hope it will be ok,

I'm super excited and nervous. And having a hard time thinking about anything else at the moment.
