my surgery is tomorrow

I want to say thank you to everyone for their support ie: comments, e-mails, and posts. Means a lot to me. I'm terrified for alot of the same reasons I think almost everyone gets. You know..the "what if" I've been thinking of all those things. I'm hoping I can cope with the pain. I've heard people tell me from one extreme to the other. No pain..and crying from being in sooo much pain. I know we all have different pain tolerences but where will I be. I've had two c-sections and several laporscopic surgeries..I did fine with those?? I have 4hrs to drive in the morning I PRAY that I don't need to use the bathroom in the middle of driving! My husband is great and will take great care of me...eventhough he's soo scared something will happen too. I wish everyone good luck with their surgeries tomorrow as well..and this month!! Can't wait to post those before and after pictures!! Talk to all of you soon.

Good Luck Rebekkah! My date is one week from today. Like you, I 've had multiple c-sections plus some othe surgeries, so I can't imagine the actual surgery & physical recovery can be much different. What will be strange is the "not being hungry". Hope all goes well! Kim

Thanks Kim..and good luck with yours next week. My husband took me out to dinner night before last..for my last "big meal" lol I can't imagine not craving a big steak like I did that night. I'm sure as I get home and adjusted you will be preparing to go in. So, please keep me updated on yours. Good luck again Becky

I am having surgery tomorrow as well. I am having a lap band. I've been having those same doubts that you are having and worrying about the possibilty of failing. I know the band is just a tool and that I will have a lot of work to do to make this happen. I wish you the best and hope that you come through your surgery without too much pain.

I remember so well how I felt the night before my surgery. I had all of the same what if's... Now my 2 year anniversary is approaching I'm 150 pounds lighter and 9 sizes smaller (size 6 now) I can tell you it was all worth it!!! Other than a few gas pains it didn't hurt at all. Tomorrow is the first day of a new you! Congratulations and good luck!!!

Dear Rebekkah, I just want to wish you the best of luck tomorrow. Let us know how it went when you get home. Joanne

Good luck tomorrow Rebekkah. Mine's tomorrow too, 7:30 in the morning. And I'm finally getting really nervous about it. Wasn't too bad until this morning, when I realized that at the time tomorrow I would be in surgery.. I'll be looking for you on here in a few days when we're both back home, and see how you're feeling!!

Thank you guys so much. I really need to hear some positive things right now. Good luck to all of you as well tomorrow. I'll be looking forward to seeing all of you with smiles and soon we can all do a nice little to show off our beautiful bodies. Yes, tomorrow starts a NEW ME!! lol Funny the diary I started here for my weight and etc..says ABOUT ME lol See you girls on the other side Rebekkah

Good luck tomorrow! I hope everything goes okay and cannot wait to see those before and after pics as well. I have had three c-sections and have heard from other c-sections moms that the pain was worse from the c-sections versus the WL surgery. I hope that that is true for both of us.

Good Luck to you ! I am sure you are doing fine. Isn't this a great Christams Present? It may not seem so great this year, but next year it will. THat is what I keep telling my self, since I have to start a clear liquid diet the 20th, which means no eatting at Christams, Christmas Eve, Tacky Sweater Christmas party etc. It's all good, next year I can eat my two ounces of boiled salmon and drink a glass of water 30 minutes later! Woo hoo. Good luck girl! Cindy
