whitneymalae 69 Posted October 28, 2012 Dont worry you'll do great! I had mine Monday and the only thing I'm dealing with is minimal soreness at the incision sites. I'm sure you've been told this by everyone on here but after surgery, walk as soon as possible! As soon as they put me in my room I got up and walked down the hall, then walked 2 more times that day and had no gas pains whatsoever! The pain is not so bad and they pump you full of painkillers you're asleep most of the time anyways! Good luck everyone, this is going to be so worth it!

alisha29 22 Posted October 28, 2012 I had surgery this past Monday. I was so nervous my nose was bleeding, and I was shaking. As soon as you check in, let the know you are nervous and would like something to help you calm down. I was given something almost immediately after I asked, and felt much better. As I am sure you have heard, walk as soon as you can and keep walking. I have not had the has pain, but I sure burp all the time. The first 3 days suck, but everyday improved tremendously after that. I am going to work tomorrow...one week after my surgery! You will be fine! Thinking of you tomorrow! Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iegal 460 Posted October 28, 2012 Can I suggest each one of your write down top 10 reasons of why you are getting surgery? This will help you with your resolve and fears. I read my list over and over before surgery along with several times why I was losing weight to hit goal. Wishing each of you the best of luck! Looking forward to reading your updates. 1 bakawaka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amazong 0 Posted October 28, 2012 I have my surgery tomorrow at 7:30 am. I hate hospitals and am nervous, but i think something would be wrong with us if we weren't even the slightest bit nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
