My surgery is this Thurs. I'm starting me pre-surgery diet today. Starting to get nervous, but I've scheduled a massage and Reiki session for tomorrow to relax and get my energy aligned. I'm hoping for a morning surgery time (althought not TOO early...).

I'm feeling like this is a sea change in my life.

Thank you all for being here.

Nerves are so normal but you will do just great. Use your time for relaxing and getting ready for the changes to come. Sending prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery on Thursday!

Wishing you the very best with surgery!! I just had my RNY last Thursday 8/21 and can completely relate to how you feel. I was nervous until I arrived to the hospital at 5:45 AM....afterwards, everything went so fast and before I realized it I was in the recovery room... Recovery for me has been getting better each day!

My surgery is on Thursday too. RNY party at 7:30 am, mine is a revision from VBG in 2003. Yes I too am nervous. Start clear liquids and laxatives tomorrow, yuck, but necessary I guess.

My problem has been sleeping, just can't turn off my brain. Working from home tomorrow and then taking my Chihuahua to a friend to watch over for a week. My daughter decided to take a week off but not sure I will need her but nice to know she is there if I do. I am 62 and worried about the recovery time since I am a diabetic sometimes I heal slower than others.

Wishing you all of the best and sending prayers your way. See you on the other side.
