So, my surgery is tomorrow!! :clap2: while i have been waiting forever to get it, the day is here and i am freaking out!!!! How did everyone deal with the jitters of waiting, and, the jitters of all the pre-op prep stuff. Any good tricks??

I went to the movies and had a nice long bath the night before. Good luck, I was nervous as I could be and I sailed right through it.

Just keep busy! It's only natural for you to feel this way, so try to relax and don't worry! Let us know how the surgery goes when you get a chance.

Whenever I get nervous I find relaxation in dreaming about the other side...being able to tie my shoes easier, no seatbelt extender on airplanes, riding a rollercoaster with my son, no more handicap stalls in the ladies rooms, breathing easier, and so on....I'm scared too, but I find comfort in knowing there is a better life out there for me!

That's right ladies,please dream on because it does come true. It seems like such a short time ago that I was all nervous about my surgery and now here it is 18 pounds from goal. It feels and looks so wonderful. I will say a little prayer for you both that you will be as lucky as I and have no problems at all. The best of luck to you both.

Wow... I've been wondering the same thing. I've been busy doing work around the house to keep it in nice shape for when arrive home.

I've been on a pre-op diet for 2 weeks and nearly every night I have the most realistic dreams that I've been eating food during the night. Thank god I woke up and realized it was a dream.

I'm so nrevous about tomorrow. My anesthesiologist to take my Ambien to help get a good night's sleep. It's not working yet.

Well, good luck all... I have to be at the hospital at 6am tomorrow. One night to go...

Question - have you guys been crying retty frequently?
