OK so I did it I had my surgery last Monday!
I just saw Katrina gave everyone a update for me! Thanks

So yeah I had the surgery and when I woke up I was yelling "No, I changed my mind, I don't wanna do it!" But of course I was to late and they all just laughed at me! I found out I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired whil he was in there. I had severe nausea and they couldn't help me, the only thing that worked a tiny bit was a shot of vistaril and epi. The pain has been pretty bad on my top incision near my sternum but I'm told it is due to the hernia repair. My doc is only letting me have 1 protein shake a day and water,tea or crystal light to drin****il th 15th when I see him again. (He won't even let me have broth!) So I am a little bummed about not getting anything. I am actually feeling better except for that pain, but it is getting better each day. I am down 10 lbs since Monday, woohoooooooo.
So again thank you so much to all of you who have supported me and encouraged me through this whole process! LOVE YA

Congrats to you!  yay you made it through and it's nice they could fix the hernia at the same time as well!  It will get better each week.  I remember the first week and thinking if I can get through this week, it will be better next week.. and it did.. and after all this time Im feeling so much better!

Keep following the doctors orders.. and enjoy that weight loss!  It's amazing how fast it goes!

Big Hugs!
