I am getting ready to head out now. I go in today for an IVF filter, I spend the night and have surgery tomorrow. I am soooooooooo nervous!!!!!!

Yes, it has been very quiet in here. When it gets a day or two from the operation you might start feeling scared, anxious and yes guilty. I know how you feel about the inlaws comments. It's not like you don't already know the risks....you have prob. read many articles before you decided that you wanted to have gastric bypass like I did. It wasn't something you went blindly into. I chose not to tell anyone other than my parents. They supported me one hundred percent, and of coarse my husband was the first person that I talked to about wanting to get the gastric bypass. He went to all my appointments with me; which was a big help and comfort; and of coarse his First Sergeant of his company had to know.(he and his wife have been so kind. Both his father and brother had the gastric bypass ) Some people are just rude about their comments. They don't think about what they are saying, and I know some of my family would prob. say that I am taking the easy way out. As you and everybody who has done this knows. It is definitely NOT the easy way out. The day of the operation goes by so quickly. I was really scared the day before, and the morning of. I had my husband, my son and my step daughter with me. They give you a calming shot not long after you get there. I don't know what the name of the medicine was...but it was great. I was still fully aware of everything; but it just relaxed me. If you have any questions or just want to vent feel free to PM me anytime. ((Hugs)) Jaye Jaye
