My surgery is next Wednesday and I know how you feel. It's a combination of scared/excitedness! Scared of the post op pain, scared of the post op diet (And if you're like me, scared of the needles!)... but let me tell you... NO ONE HAS DONE MROE RESEARCH ON THIS THAN ME! -- and I just want to let you know one thing that you REPEAT TO YOURSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!:

It's totally worth it.

Wow, it's not the easiest thing I've had to do in life :shades_smile:, My Dr. has me on a liquid diet from now til my surgery date 3/31/08 (yeahhhhhh) I am getting more and more excited and finally letting it all sink in, my insurance isn't covering all the expenses so I'm a little stressed about that because now I have to come up with the 6,000 insurance isn't covering, but it's well worth it, just not sure where the moneys going to come from, please keep me in your prayers and pray that God sends me a miracle cause I sure could use 1 right about now.
