[hopeful60 1]

I finally got my approval and a surgery date I am so happy and I could not believe it. My surgery is April 9 and I am on the pre op diet already. I cannot wait. Even looking forward to the pain so that I know it is finally done !!!!!!

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!

BTW: I only had minimal pain for a few days (felt better the more I walked).

You will NOT regret it!!

Just take your pain medications faithfully BEFORE you get into too much pain and you won't have any problems. Congrats on your surgery date. You'll be fine.

Hi, I just had my surgery on Tuesday and I only have a small bit of soreness left, I am not taking the pain meds anymore and already feel like a million bucks!!!

Good Luck!

Thanks. I will probaly be a little scared going in that day but I am so looking forward to having this done. I have a lot to lose but I know that I can do it. Any words of wisdom for me ?

I too have a lot to lose but I'm in no hurry, my outlook is to just follow the post op food stages and become greatly aquainted with my new friend.

Just relax, remember your in good hands and when you wake up it will all be done and then the rest is up to you.

There's so much great information on this site so read, read, read.

That is the way that I am looking at it too. I am on my second day of the pre op diet and I am at times kind of testy. How long did it take anyone to return to work???
