its normal to be nervous! but you dont have to be i promise! this procedure is done all day almost evryday and growing more and more popular each year. these guys know what there doing. my surgery was only about 45mins and it was the best decision i have EVER made! you will look back on this day and smile because your new life will be different. everyone gets nervous before any kind of surgery where u go under, but you will be OK :) whens your surgery??

Good luck ! Hope all gos smooth and I know its nerve racking to go for any kind of surgery and there isnt much that will calm you down until youv woke up and realize everything went as planned. Just try to keep your self doing things to keep your mind off of it, read books, magazines, talk to friends, plan ahead styles and looks you will be able to ware that you'v always liked and couldnt wear because they dont make them in our sizes !

I had my surgery Monday evening and I feel great! A little sore and my shoulder hurts a bit but its not like an exagerated pain. The bigger incision hurts and the others dont even hurt at all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
