How nervous are you
I think I am beyond nervous....
I backed out about 3 months ago but decided to go for it. I think if I had a dr and staff that talked to you it might help. All I have done is go to seminar, listen to him and nurse in his office and now report to surgery. Evidently that’s it! I just thought there would be a little one on one time to answer questions. Next step is surgery, getting up and walking every 30 minutes and sitting in a chair. They told us we would not be sleeping or resting after surgery. I think my biggest fear other then the surgery is throwing up. I know the gas will be painful but at some point that leaves us. Lol. Your surgery is before mine. How are you feeling. Have you gotten support from your dr and staff? I truly hope so. I hope to talk when we have had it and say wow was not as bad as I thought. Lol
 
Hey Mama Bear, how are you doing? You are in the home stretch but also in a period of time that must feel like forever. The waiting would kill me! How about an update?

I am good. I have another week. I am excited. I am ready for this. I am going in with a positive look about it and I am going to come out of it the same (hopefully) I have high tolerance to pain so I hope that it will help me. But I am on my liquid diet right now and I am killing it. Day 8 and have not had as much problems as I did before. And if any day was going to be the day to break it was today. Today is my mother's birthday and even though she is no longer with us I feel as if she is. She would be proud of what I am going to do because she wanted to do it to but her doctor told her she had to show she really wanted it by losing weight first. I guess they seen where I lost so much weight already they went a head and sent me through to have it. But this is something that is going to be the best for me.
