It's all been said ... I'm just so looking forward to it all being over and a week or four out. I pray it goes well for all of us and we'll be home on Wednesday and recovering with our loved ones.

Is it too late to join? My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:20 here in Orlando. I've been on clear fluids only today so I feel lucky. I had to join in when I saw everybody crying I've been about ready to burst into tears since preregistration on Friday. I know I want to do this but now every terrifying thought is raising it's ugly head. My 9 year old asked me this morning when I could eat lunch out again and when I told him it would be several months before I could eat regular food he was horrified. He just kept saying you're going to starve Mom. I know he doesn't really get it but it kind of hit me not because I'm really worried about being hungry or "starving" but just because of the big change to all of our lives.

Good luck everyone.

Lucky27-

I am also really scared and have a terrible fear of anesthesia. Be sure to ask for a "pre-med" when you get to the hospital and tell them how nervous you are! They will give you a Valium or something similar to help with the nerves. It should also help your anesthesia and recovery go more smoothly.

I can't believe by this time tomorrow we'll be in recovery! I'm super nervous! Hey does anyone know when we'll be able to drive after the surgery?

[nmccarthy 11]

I was told I can not drive until I am off the pain meds.

Well I'm on the sleeved side now!!!!! All went well! I've been in ICU now for the last 9 hours and it's the first time I've been awake for longer than 5 minutes and not in pain anymore! Really struggled with the gas pain! My stomach and incisions feel fine, infact I'm not sore at all....just the blooming dreadful gas pain! On morphine at the moment and feeling pretty good, propt up in bed watching tv! Can't wait for my surgeon to come tmr morning so I can have a drink!!! My mouth and throat are so dry!!! My surgeon doesn't allow anything for 24hrs afterwards!
