December 28th surgery date.

Good luck each and everyone of you. It is a very exciting experience.. I had my surgery on 8/29/12.

It is rough the first couple of days but remember sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk....

First couple of days you might not get to much fluids into your tummy. IT is swollen, irritated and very sore...

Don't try and rush into the next stage of your post-op. take it one day at a time..

I guess I've been so busy that this morning I got nervous for the first time!!! I'm scared but excited, just can't wait for it to happen! So we can all say, I know someone who is feeling the same way!!!

I want to b successful with this but i am scared!!! I know tons of ppl on thiswebsite has gone thru the surgery and survived but its the unknown of how u are going to feel with a new stomach and new outlook on life and food!!!! Lord help me is all i keep saying and that He promised me that He will be with me even until the end of the world. I know i have to block out all the negatives that i keep thinking about and continue to seek the Lord for strength!!! Those of you who believe in thepowerof prayer... Please keep me in prayer and every other individual that will be having surgery on the 28th!!! Hugs

I was excited to see several people sharing the same surgery date as myself. Even though we are miles apart, I will have some comfort knowing that there are other people out there on Friday morning feeling the same anticipation and excitement as we start a new journey. Best wishes and positive thoughts to everyone as we move though the last few hours before surgery.

Tomorrow is the big day!!! I am 24 hours away from surgery and feeling both nervous and excited. I hope everyone else with surgery scheduled for December 28 has a blessed day (and a calm day).

Surgery tomorrow morning at 7:15 a.m. I am excited and nervous......Praying for others who are having surgery tomorrow. Prayers requested.....

Prepare to be miserable for 24-48 hours after that its smoothe sailing 72 hours after surgery I was doing 30min walks around my hotel climbing 3 or 4 flights of stairs at a time. Walking after surgery is very important to your recovery every time I went walking it got easier and easier. Good luck!

Hello all that will be going in tomorrow to be sleeved.... Yes I have been praying, listening to gospel music and meditating on the goodness of the Lord!! I got my call today, At first i was asked to be there at 4pm felt bummed a lil because i was thinking Dear Lord help me not eat anything 8 hrs before surgery and how would i make it w/o a Protein shake (lol) then i dozed off for a short nap and my phone vibrated I answered and the nurse called to tell me that my surgery had been moved up to 12pm \o/ Praise God is all i could say.... I just got back from the store. I purchased the gas-x, pepcid ac (maximum strength) and Miralax. Im getting ready, i know and believe all will go well with everyone tomorrow including me!!! God has all of us

Be Blessed and Hugs to all
