My surgery is scheduled for 7am tomorrow morning so the countdown is on... I have a whole range of emotions going through me right now... Worry, excitement, jitters, nerves, impatience.... I am a whole ball of craziness. I don't know how I am going to get through the day and be able to sleep tonight!

Surgery Date: 8/20/2015 - CW 233 - GW 140

I wish you the best with your surgery. For me the surgery was easy. I had little pain, no nausea. I did feel like I had the flu for a few days, but it passed. I hope you'll have a similar good experience.

The process of getting used to the new tummy was harder. It was not fun, but it was manageable. You'll do great, and you are going to love the weight loss!

best wishes,

Carol

I'm scheduled for surgery a week from today at 8:00am. All of a sudden I'm "scared" I know I need to do this and that everything will be fine. I hate needles and that's my biggest fear. Wishing you all the best. Please post when you are feeling up to it.
