I just had my surgery Monday at 7am. YES, I was starving on the pre-op LOL But I got through it and so will you. Before surgery I was having lots of anxiety and kept thinking "do really need to to this?" "Am I really doing this" Up to the moment they put in my IV I was thinking I should bolt. Luckily I learned from all the wonderful people on this board that every one has some type of these feelings and thoughts. I can through great. I had a substancial hiatal hernia my surgeon repaired so there may have been a little more pain. But everyon at the hospital, md, nurses. kept saying tomorrow will be much better. AND IT WAS. I think I got into a state of disbelief, did I really do this? (BTW another common experience I learned on this board) But it is quite amanzing how in just 24 to 48 hours you are yourself. I don't feel like much has happend except for the little incision pain and .. sorry... gas! :-) Well, and only being able to drink a few ounces at a time.

Best of luck. I'm sure you'll do great. I 'll tell you what a great nurse told me at the hospital when I was having a little trouble getting some fluids in "if others can do it, you can do it too, you will do it" That really helped. It got through the wooziness of the meds!

PS: say bye bye to the hunger! :-) Post op I just feel fine!
