4 days till Surgery - Can I really do this?

[Firebolt 3]

Well, tomorrow is the "Big Day"! I am so encouranged by your words of wisdom. I continue to read them when I get feeling anxious.

I have done the research. I have a great surgeon. I have a great facility. I have terrific support from my family & friends. I have paid cash (hee hee - that's always a motivator!)

I AM READY. In the words of Todd Beamer "Let's Roll".

I will let you all know in a couple of days how went.

Not to scare you, but if you get through the Bowel Prep, the rest of it is a "Piece of Cake". For my wife and I that was the worst. Good luck. Have fun. You'll be in our prayers.

John - luckily, I've not had to do any pre-op torture! No pre-op diet, no bowel prep, etc...Thank the Lord above!

I am contimplating having a Margarita with dinner though! It will be the last one for a very, very long time!

No eating or drinking after 12am. That's about it. Go in at 9am & surgery at 11am. Hope to be in recovery by 12pm & home by Wednesday (they make me stay 23 hours). That is if all goes as planned!

Thanks for keeping me in your prayers!

Yep, John, I too had no "bowel prep" (but I do KNOW what you're talking about). The only thing I can think is that I was on a liquid diet for two weeks ahead of time--maybe those doctors that don't require that have to require what you had to go through??

Firebolt--the very best to you in your travels in Lap Band Land...

Good luck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The worst of it is over. It will only get better from here. Put a post or PM me when you can.
