Everythimg went as expected. I was released to go home friday afternoon and home never looked better. It was nice to sleep in myown bed with out all the interuptions. I am still sore on my left side but I am sipping and walking and getting the gas out. Looking forward to everyday as it gets better each and every day.

congrats!  Let me know how everything went.  Mine is Dec 29th. 

Hi,

I know exactly what you mean about 'freaked out', I am all the time too. I have second guessed my self so many times. I am afraid of the side effects & future complications & failures that I have read about in the forums. But you know what? Someone told me, for every failure, there is 10 successes, you just don't read about the successes as much bcuz they are out living their merry life, enjoying their success. Also, even with the worst outcome, there is always a solution. So don't worry about that unless you have to. For now we have to focus on life as being happy & successful...self-fullfilling prophecy theory. I am glad you shared ur fears with me, it keeps my fears in check. Good luck on Thurs the 16th, & I'll try to remember to post about my surgical experience, hopefully you can read it & use it for reassurance.

Hi Jackie,

I am scheduled to have my surgery on the 16th.  I am excited but have days that I'm totally freaked out..  A little nervous about side affects etc after the surgery.

I wish you the best.....

I have a December 13 surgery date.  I am a bit scared as the only surgery I have ever had was a c-section.  I have pre-testing on the 7th and then the next week is the big day.  I am also excited as I am looking forward to the changes.  I was not put on a pre-operation diet, and I am so not looking forward to the puree and liquid stuff but I know it is all worth it in the end..Good luck every body!!!
