Surgery in two days ... scared@@@@

I am scheduled to get surgery in two days, today is my first day of liquids!  What a test .... I am scared, and advice on do's and don'ts at this stage of the game?

You'll do great...don't you love your doc...he was mine too.    I'm exactly 4 weeks ahead of you.  I had my surgery on 2/25.   I don't get my first fill until April 6.  He wanted to do it a week earlier but my schedule was too tight so I had to book it a week later.

So far so good though, my clothes are already getting loose!

You will be fine. Everyone here has been through these emotions, am I doing the right thing, will it work for me etc. Just remember like everyone on here says, you didn't gain it overnight you won't lose it overnight. Don't forget to take a pillow for the ride home to put between you and seat belt. Any questions, just ask everyone here is here to help and support you!!!

 You have nothing to worry about!!! i was scared just like you!! I made myself sooooo sick!!!! I woke up from surgury and as soon as I got back to my room, I walked to the bathroom!!! I walked 10 min every hour!! I NEVER got the gas everyone talked about!!! I'm a lil over 4 months post-op and I've lost over 40 pounds now!!! I love my band and I'd do it all again!!! I have 40 more to go!!!! Joyce

Please keep us posted as you go along.  Good luck  ~  and you'll be in all of our thoughts and prayers!!!  Keep Smiling!

Best of luck to you for your upcoming surgery Tamara!!  Liquids suck (for me anyway lol) but it's only temporary and a new life is right around the corner.  You're going to do great!!!

Normal to be scared. I remember feeling the same way when I had my initial surgery.  I'm going in for a port revision on Friday and I'm scared all over again.

You will be fine. I think everyone goes through this stage. You will have some discomfort, but it's not going to be what you think. It is very tolerable and well worth it. Make sure you buy something for gas because that's the biggest discomfort. Your doctor will probably give you some pain meds too.
