I am so excited that tomorrow is my surgery! Finally! I have made all the preparations (I think) and starting to get a wee-bit nervous.

What prep did you do? And how are you feeling post op? Wish you the best.

Congrats! I'm so excited for you! I am 7 days post op so far and I feel great! Today was the first day I didn't feel like I needed the pain Meds and the gas in my left shoulder is better too! Don't sweat it ! I feel better now than I did getting my wisdom teeth removed! Good luck and word of advice dong weigh yourself for at least a week! Let your fluids come out and the gass get released and your swelling go down! I made the mistake and noticed I gained 4 lb but now I'm finally down!

I did the two week all liquid Protein diet (mostly Slim-fast drinks and Atkins Diet Drinks), two days before began the cleansing wash and Listerine mouthwash.

I arrived at the hospital at 6:15 am, was taken to pre-op at 7am, and surgery by 8am. Left hospital by 11am.

I actually feel decent. I've been up and about every two hours to walk around my home and do a few light activities mainly because the gas has settled under my left shoulder blade. By doing so, the gas has subsided. Important Note: I've taken my Phenergan and the Lortab elixir right on time.

We'll see what tomorrow brings !?!

Surgery went well. I showed up @ 10:30am and was out by 2:30pm I think. Having a rough night tonight, pain in stomach and shoulder sucks and nausea. sleeping on your back sucks! I have been waking up every hour or so. Trying to get sleepy so I can go lay back down.
