Tomorrow, my life changes.

Well bandsters, it's really happening for me, my surgery is tomorrow at 3:00. I'm getting a little nervous. Just keep telling myself, YES, this IS happening! So much more real now that's less than 24 hours away. I'm scared, nervous, excited, curious...

Yay you! Congrats. What you are feeling is normal. I am certain most of us had some anxiety mixed in with excitement. You will be fine......good luck!

See you on the other side.

Good luck and congratulations!! All of your emotions are completely normal! Expect to be in pain and immobile because if you expect the worst, it can only be better. sleeping may be difficult so have lots of pillows ready. Make sure you keep drinking and moving afterwards b/c it will help you move gas around. Just remember you will get through it, even at your worst, you will get through it! Also, you may wanna wash your sheets ahead of time b/c you'll probably be in bed for a few days!

Best of luck! Keep us posted!

Thanks all! Mathis new support system is wonderful. I'm just worried about stupid little things mostly, like getting the catheter out, and the clear liquid phase.

Be honest- what was the worst thing about your surgery experience? And then, to make me feel better, what has been the best?

I was super nervous having crazy dreams the night before, the morning of i was semi shaking walking in the hospital but as i got prepped i was magically fine i was not nervous i was excited! I had a long wait and next thing i was wheeling back and scooting myself from one bed to the other, next i was in recovery like What??
