Yet another reason I loved Australia!! Loved everything about it when I was there. The only other country I would be happy to live in!

I am almost in tears to read this post .I am relieved! I am out 5 days and feel like shit (sorry). I spoke with the 2 people who had this and between them and the forum I was NOT prepared for how I am feeling. I had to spend 3 nights in Hospital b/c of getting sick. The Gas pains are horrid but I keep in mind, this momentary discomfort feels a lot better then dying early! So glad to know it does get better. I even do feel a bit better today.

Thanks I needed this. Home today and now so happpy

I am feeling the same way! I feel as a Elephant is sitting in my chest that only goes away if I burp, God I hope this gets better soon!

Well, I am out and I spent 3 days in Hospital. GERD and Horrid Gas pains. Home today, feeling sore. Will be happy once all this pain goes away. Anyone else getting gas pains from the surgery?

Awesome!! I am going in tomorrow morning ...I will let you know how it goes!! When is your date?

Good Luck for all the peeps joining me tomorrow!

Well, I guess I am OVER and OUT till after surgery. I wish you all a safe surgery, and comfort to those of us scared! Lets all check in as soon as we can with a brief up date. time to Change to the loser of Nov 24th Club!! Best of Luck My friends!

7:15 for me. Good luck check when you can!!

I have been on my pre op diet for a week now and my surgery is in the morning. I, until today, could have 3-4 Protein shakes a day. No caffeine , all the sugar free Jello I want. any sugar free drinks, low fat yogurt and lots of Water. I would call your DR, and ask what he wants for a diet!

Two nights. Hope they can convert you!! Lets keep each other in our prayers

My surgery is tomorrow...I have to be there at 7:15am. OMG. The Hospital I am going to In Michigan is one of the Highest rated in Michigan and my surgeon is rated 3rd in the country. But still I am a nervous wreak. Wouldn't it be fun is we could all be in pre-op together....chatting about everything....

I am so with you!!!!! My surgery is Monday and I am scaring myself to death. I am just going in Demanding some kind of sedative and pray I make it out alive. If I do I will be happy I did this because I know I can't keep it off on my own!

In Michigan at St. John Providence. I have to be there at 7:15am

I am set for Monday the 24th, crapping my pants, scared to death and wishing I was excited. At this rate I am going to walk in and plead some kind of sedative or I am afraid I will walk out. I just want to come out of it to see my kids! Lets all keep in contact with each other, it will be nice to have a group of friends going thru the same issues and losses together!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

I wanted to just say a quick THANK YOU to all of people who have answered my questions and those of others. I have posted a few questions here and most of them have been about my absolute fear of having this surgery. I am thankful to you that have posted encouraging words, it has helped. I am afraid but not as much! I have read your responses to other peoples questions and those have been very informative and helpful in what lays ahead!. So here is a shout out to all of you that answer our posted questions! You have no idea how much your insight help. Jacq P.S. wish me luck on Monday.....Holy Sh$t!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do the same thing to my kids LOL! "Do I look like that lady honey?" NO Mom....apparently they have the same "I am not that issue"

I think in regards to BD, we have all seen pictures of ourselves and said " do I really look that big? Or am I really that fat??" I know I do, to the point I do not allow my photo taken often.

I just posted a new topic on that too!

I think they only notice when you pile your plate! Good to know! I thought UN-Laws was on purpose...too funny!

Well, I called the Dr. this morning. I have been thinking about it all night long! They said they think it is either a fat tumor, or scar's from phenomena or a collapsed lung. I then said "well, I am glad to hear that! Is my surgery still set for Monday because if not I am having a huge sandwich! She and I laughed and she said NOPE you are having surgery Monday morning! Thank you all for your support! I really love how everyone tries to help each other!

So little Miss Scardy Cat just got a call from the Nurse saying my chest X-Ray came back abnormal. Has this ever happed to anyone before?? The nurse was not sure if they were going to cancel my surgery or not. She just said if I don't hear from her it is still a go on Monday. NOT feeling very happy right now. Any input would help

Thanks guys! I am worried b/c my surgery is in 4 days!

Why can't I be excited.....I am craping my pants! Fear of complications and I don't mind the diet I guess but when you feel hungry it is hard to imagine not feeling that way all the time after WLS. I glad we can all chat here...I too can't wait to ditch the CPAP!

I am going thru the same thing. My fear is dying. I say this as I sit and eat my Jello, 7 days pre-op. My husband told me he was scared I was going to die too. SO there we sat last night staring into space with eyes the size of saucers. Focus on the positive. If they were worried about your heart then you would NOT be cleared! They don't want Malpractice suit! I plan on asking for a MAJOR sedative as soon as I get to the Hospital. The weight WILL kill us. With all that said I am currently crapping my size 22 pants EVEYDAY! But I am going to try not to chicken out!
