Summeragain- I totally know what you are going through and I was down right terrified the morning of, but let me assure you that these people are there to take care of you and that you will be in the best hands. And the best part is the VERSED that they give you in the OR is the most wonderful thing under the stars- you wont feel a thing and wont remeber a thing either.

my anesthesia guy said that he woke me before taking the breathing tube out and asked me a question, I have absolutely no recollection of that happening !!!

The morphine afterwards is really great too !! relax and take a deep breath it will all be worth it !!!

I'm going in on Monday too. It scares the hell out of me when I think about it. So I have been doing a lot of NOT thinking about it!! Of course I have been planning and shopping for stuff I will need afterwards, but trying not to think about how much pain I will be in. And I'm hoping I don't get depressed, or at least I can handle it.

YIKES!! I already can't wait until the healing part is over!!

Good Luck to everyone going in on Monday. I will be thinking about you!!

Good luck ladies,

My thoughts will be with you - I am going in on the 18th, although in reality I won't be that far behind you because I'm on Australian time; so once your op is over and you're fast sleep in your bed or hospital bed that night, say a little prayer for me, as it will be daytime here and I will be heading into surgery!

Like the both of you, the nerves are starting to kick in and I am trying NOT to think about it as well. For me, the hardest part will be leaving my parents to go into theatre... being my first ever surgery and my first overnight stay in a hospital, I am almost positive I will cry at some point - but I'm going to try not to!

We need to be brave, we can do this :thumbup:)

I was banded 4 days ago and I already have so much improvement with my mobility and pain, I must say the first 2 days were pretty bad and I was thinking, what the hell did I do to myself??? But by day 3, things were MUCH better! I'm feeling pretty normal mentally and physically. Of course still a little slow moving around but today I went to Walmart and gave my 3 year old a bath....The surgery itself??? Once you're in there, its OVER! Just enjoy your hospital stay and morphine and it will start getting better before you know it!:thumbup:

You will all be great!! I was scared going into surgery as well but honestly the surgery part turned out to be simple! I had some pretty bad shoulder pain due to gas after the surgery, but I'm 9 days out and I feel GREAT! Just follow the rules, ask all of your questions, WALK and take it easy!

I'll be thinking about you guys!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
