Well Congrats first of all... and just know that most of us were scared before surgery but you will come through fine.  You will learn as you go what you need to be eating and drinking and your new tummy will make sure to tell you.  The medical issues I have heard at my support group get better.  I know for me my blood pressure is now normal and I am 13 weeks post-op.  You will feel so much better and I am wishing you an easy post-op and quick recovery :)
Philippians 4:13 -  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Travis, congrats on getting to the time of surgery.  I know that you will do well tomorrow.  Take this one moment at a time.  Your health problems will improve and you will stop "falling apart".  Take a few deep breaths, know that you are doing something important for your health. 

I had surgery 2 years ago, and was able to stop using insulin for my type 2 diabetes.  My arthritis is improved, most days no pain and I get by with an occassional dose of tylenol.

I look forward to reading posts as you progress along this journey.  We are here to support your great decisions and help guide as we can from our own experiences.  Welcome to the loser's bench with your surgery!!
