Beyond anxious. Wondering is my house clean enough the the hubby ok taking over my usually duties. Dear god I hope he feeds the dog. Etc I'm shakey and anxious yet excited and impatient. I just want to do it already and start healing. Any last tips?? My anxiety is so high I feel like I am about to pass out I know I am being a baby but I can't help it. Starting weight was 273lbs but now I'm weighing in at 253.2lbs after the preop diet... I really want to get down to 135-145lbs. Is that likely possible? I'm 24 athletic flexible etc...

Well, day 7 of 14 of my preop diet has come and gone. It's been touch and go the past few days, but I won't complain. Each day I wake up feeling lighter and try to use that as my motivation to stay on track. Getting more anxious and excited by the minute.

So today as I should be doing homework but couldnt focus so started reading over my paperwork for my procedure. I see they will have me listed as NPO (no food or drink) for 24 hours. Oh really so they are going to give me meds and no food. I just got scared. My stomach is so sensitive if I have asprin on a empty stomach I will vomit.

No worries you will be hydrated by IV. Aspirin is an irritant to the stomach. So it is understood that aspirin on an empty stomach would make you ill. Stop worrying. It will be ok. This is what we all have been planning for. You can do this! Rest tonight, the new you begins tomorrow

I'm the 21st as well. I live just north of chattanooga. Where! Are you?

I am having surgery on the 21st as well, and I grew up in Athens, tn. I currently live in Kingsport, Tn. I originally had my done in Dalton with Dr. Jaime Ponce. I love Hamilton Place. Where do you live? Is your Doctor? How old are you? I am 28.

I'm actually having mine at Blount Memorial in Maryville. My friend works for Dr Johnathan Ray and he was also her surgeon. So I decided to do it there. We live in Georgetown it's about 25 minutes from Hamilton place. I am 34. Good luck tomorrow!! Keep in touch we can support each other!
