After many years of losing myself to weight loss and gain, many months of planning, eating better, Dr's appointments and seminars, and many many days of worrying, the time has finally come. I'm scheduled to get to the hospital today at 12:00. Everyone warns you about nausea after the surgery but nobody warns you about it before...the anticipation is driving me insane! I have a little tote packed with earplugs, headphones, comfy pjs (just in case), my unflavored protein, and lots of fidget toys. I know this is going to be the start of something great for me but I might go crazy waiting! I'm trying to stay as busy as possible but my entire body knows something big is looming and it's in overdrive. See you all on the other side!

Good luck to you - I am now one week out, so those feelings are very fresh. The thing that kept me sane right up until the moment they rolled me into the OR, was that I had spent all those years and months struggling. I trusted my surgeon and I trusted the evidence I read in the literature. That really helped me feel at peace, even when I was nervous. Hope that makes sense. I wish you the best -

Thank you @jls99660! I definitely trust my entire team and know I am in great hands. This feeling I'm having is akin to being in line for a roller coaster. You know it's going to be wild and crazy, you know you'll be tossed around and your stomach will be in your throat, you know that after it's over you're going to get off the ride smiling. And there you are, a bundle of nerves just bursting to get it over with. I'll keep telling myself to take deep breaths and trust. Hope your recovery has been smooth.
