2 more days until surgery
Good luck and we'll see you on the losers bench very soon
I was absolutely terrified of going under for my op so much so that I even left a sealed message for my husband if I didn't make it through ..........it was over before I knew it and with no complications .....and the sealed letter is still in the bedroom drawer......just remember you have people who will be thinking and praying for you and will support you on your journey to becoming the real you
Take care and think of all the great things to come

You'll be in my prayers, and remember me in yours since we'll be taking this journey together!! Though I'm not stressing the surgery I am stressing the hospital as I absolutely HATE hospitals. We will both be fine and meeting each other on the losers bench soon though and be happier for it! Here's to us - 
Having this surgery is really easy. You'll be wheeled into the operating room where everyone will welcome you and smile, move you easily from the stretcher to a table, and within a very short time the friendly anesthesia person will place a mask over your mouth and ask you to take some deep breaths - you won't even notice this except for a few seconds. 
The next thing you know you'll be moving along on a stretcher to your bed. The anesthesia experience is actually very nice - no memories, no pain, you get to sleep through the whole thing. The post op first and second days are the work and it's still not "bad", just work. Focus on what your nut has taught you - you are the expert now, knowing you only need to drink a little, little bit (one ounce or so) at a time, and you don't have to get up to those really high goals of fluids and proteins those first few days. I found I knew better than a few of the nurses who cared for all post ops, not just WLS patients
I have every confidence that nothing bad will happen. Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest and fluids in the next 48 hours.
