Scared & 2 Days to VSG Surgery (12/22)

I am a little apprehensive "is this the right thing to do?"... I am a little scared "will I wake up?.. and will everything be okay?" "Will I be able to handle what it is like post-op?"

 

I guess this is where faith comes into play - at least for me. So those of you that pray - would you please say a special little prayer for me? Thank you and God bless you!

I'm home!.. And again thank you all for your prayers and support. It all went very well, except I had some moderate pain afterwards. Nothing that the pain and anti-spasm medicines couldn't deal with.

The biggest issue was that I could not urinate, so they put in a Foley catheter. I still have it in until I see my urologist this week. And I can see just a few small blood clots in the urine. So I'm not sure why my bladder was affected? I was urinating just fine before surgery. My surgeon said that it can be a side-effect from the anesthesia and things should be fine in a few days. Nevertheless, I am following-up with my urologist.

Other than that, it has been great!... No desire for food at all! Even when I am around it and can smell it. I have lost 9 pounds in 6 days since my surgery on 12/22/09. And it's amazing that I don't care about food anymore. It was right up there with God for me! It feels like the "Idol" has been broken!
