My Surgery is Tomorrow!!!

32 hours until my surgery...a little anxious but after 2 weeks of liquid diet I just want to get it over with lol!!  Looking forward to a new future and a new me!  Wish me luck!!!

Good luck!

You will likely feel like total crap for a couple of days, but that's normal. Before you know it, this will be a distant memory.

Check in with us when you're on the other side.

I'm so happy for you.  I wish you every success.  I am 3.5 years post-op and I lost 225 pounds.  I am maintaining at a normal BMI.  I am so happy I had the surgery.  It was not easy, but it was always manageable.  I think you will be so happy with your sleeve.  I wish you every success.

Very exciting Cathy. Don't be anxious. I know easier said than done but it really isn't that scary in retrospect. I didn't even feel that bad after and was up and walking 20 minutes first day. That said I had pain meds so it could have been a blur.

Good luck and enjoy the new you.

Congratulations and best of luck to you!!  I'm almost 9 weeks out and no regrets.  Those first few days are uncomfortable, until the gas leaves and you can sleep in more positions. Use a recliner and don't be afraid to change places to sleep.  I was between my bed and recliner most nights for 2 weeks, but I'm a side sleeper.  Get up and get walking asap.  :-)

TY so much for the warning, Tempestt!  Fortunately, I'm prepared for that evil gas bubble lol.  Had lap gall bladder surgery many years ago, and that cursed bubble was the worst part.  At least I know exactly what to expect so that's good!!  I will definitely do the walking...lots of emphasis on that in my pre-surgery classes.  Glad to hear you're so pleased with your decision, I know I will be.  

I don't expect to get any sleep tonight, and 2 hour drive early to the hospital so gonna be a long evening.  Hope to be posting a wonderful update in a few days!!!

You are welcome. I, too, had a long journey to the hospital, but did get some sleep, which was a good thing because my hospital roommate was noisy and had a lot of company!  I don't remember all of the gas pain from my gall bladder lap, but definitely felt this one, even with walking as soon as I possibly could.  You'll be on the Loser's Bench soon!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!! So excited for you!

Congrats. And best of luck!!let us know how you are doing!!

Wishing you the best of luck!!!  You'll do great.
