I can't believe tomorrow is surgery!! I feel surprisingly calm, but ready for the next few days to be hell!

How is everyone feeling?

I'm having surgery tomorrow and I'm so scared.

I'm having surgery tomorrow and I'm so scared.

I was too for a long time and then I thought of the risks I would have (I.e. heart attack, stroke, etc.) if I didn't have the surgery. To me, the risks of surgery are a lot less significant!

You are going to do great!

I had my surgery on June 11 so I'm 5 weeks post op. I too was very anxious prior to surgery, but i want to tell you... it really wasn't so bad. With the techniques they use now, recovery is quicker and easier. And post op you get 'the button' for pain..I was encouraged to use it as much as i needed. To be honest the toughest part was not being able to drink Water for 24 hours and that's not so bad.....Good luck tomorrow.... by the way I've lost 33lbs since I started the liquid diet on June 1. The Sleeve is the best thing I've ever done for my health.

I've been home since yesterday evenin and I am only feelin a lil sore from the sight where they pull your stomach through.. Other than that I'm doin GREAT!! This website is an awesome tool for me good luck with all of your surgeries..

I'll be right there with you. I have to be at the hospital by 9 for an 11 a.m. surgery. Surprisingly calm. Staying up to 11 tonite to get my pre-surgery meds on board.

Good luck. God bless. I am sure we'll all do fine.
