Can't believe my surgery day is here. Getting ready to go to hospital still very nervous. Know this is the right thing for me but can't wait for the surgery and the unknown recovery I will have. I will be remembering everyone on her with their advice to sip and walk, walk, walk. Hoping for a Smooth recovery. Any suggestions please let me know. Can't wait to be on the sleeved side!

Morning sheltermann, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You will be fine and be ready for your journey. My surgery was 7/28/14 and its the best thing I ever did. I'm down 30 lbs and I love it. Just keep sipping and walking, walking is the best advice we all can give u. And most of all be patient and you will be doing great. See you on the sleeve side. Speedy recovery! YOU GOT THIS!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. So nervous and crying while I get ready for hospital. Nerves I guess. Congrats on your success. I know this is right for me. Don't know where the emotions are coming from. Thanks again.

@shbelter...its normal to be a emotional overwhelmed for any surgery. But again this was the best decision that I ever made for MYSELF. Of course I was nervous also, but I had a double mastectomy like 4 yrs ago and I don't think no other surgery is going to be worse for me than that one. That surgery was to safe my life and once again this surgery was again to safe my life. You will do good and will be relief once you are on our side. Please keep up posted on your recovery and your journey.

Bunch of GENTLE hugs....

You will do great! The advice I could offer - the crummy part gets better quickly and you will transition quickly into healing.

I had my surgery yesterday. Cried all the way into the or. Was

Nervous and scared but excited too. Been getting out of bed with help and walking a few laps. Leak test this morning after 9. Then maybe Clear Liquids. Mouth and lips are so dry . Glad the or is done. Focusing on everyday getting better. Thanks for all the encouraging words and advise.
