My surgery is tomorrow as well. Here are some ways I'm keeping calm: Create a playlist go your favorite songs. I'll be listening to it in the morning as they prep me for surgery. Think of the reasons why you decided on surgery. Let that play over and over to help you face your fears. Think of the medications (if you are taking any) that you may no longer have to take. Think of a healthy, stronger version of yourself. You will be fine. I'll post when I'm well enough tomorrow. I hope you keep us updated.

Congratulations to both of you!!

Just ask for the happy pill early on 

Seriously, I was calm as a cucumber the day of surgery... I think that you'll both do fine! Don't sweat it! And the days afterwards, keep the big goal in mind... it gets a little tough at first, but soon you'll be posting NSVs and goal weights!!!

I made it to the other side. Surgery went well. I was using the pain meds on Monday and yesterday but honestly no real pain today. Sipping and walking as much as I can. I bent the needle on one of my Lovenox injections. I feel asleep during the video that was showing. You can't give me Oxy and expect me to be alert. I'm going to see if my PCP or home health aide can show me how to perform the injections. 

Now the real work begins. Thank you for the support.

I'm glad things went well with your surgery. Mine went well but I had to get a blood transfusion Tuesday night. Blood counts were dropping so they gave me a couple of pints. I finally got to go home today....Yay! Lol...Oxy was a trip, my husband said I did alot of strange things while I was sleeping, he said at 1 point it looked like I was knitting (I don't even know how to knit lol) Anyway, good luck with your recovery and weight loss..

Congrats @ Immsmith. Glad it went well. Pain meds. can make us all a little loopy. Wishing you nothing but success on your journey.
