Good luck to you. I'm scheduled to go in at 10:00. I'm more excited than nervous and hating the liquid diet.

Use abdominal binder that reallly helped me through the first 3 weeks. try beano with food this will stop the gas from forming and Tell your Dr. they should have something for that. Simethacone is the drug of choice usually for babies and adults.

Isn't it great to finally be so close to our date?? Mine is Tuesday at 9 am. I am so excited to finally reach this re-birthday! I have not had a single nervous or anxious thought about the surgery throughout this whole process. My hubby is not going to be able to get home in time to be there. It has not discouraged me in the least. He is a trucker and won't be home till closer to the weekend. He probably won't even be here in time to pick me up and bring me home! But, a friend who works near the hospital is giving me a ride down on Tuesday morning. Another friend who lives about half way between the hospital and my home is going to come get me when they release me Thursday. And, somewhere in there, my hubby will finally make it home! I think that part of the reason that I've not been nervous is that this is just meant to happen for me. I've struggled with this weight for over 20 years now. Nothing has helped. It has just gotten worse. Now, I finally have a chance to start over fresh. And YOU do to! Best wishes in your surgery, your recovery, and your weight loss! Hugs, Lea

So, my internet went down on Friday morning. I lost touch with my entire support network for two whole days. (It was my fault because I had not paid my bill.) I have been nervous, excited, thrilled, sad, deliriously happy, ecstatic, and a few other things, all at the same time. My surgery is 10:30 am. I am glad that way my mom can sleep in a little. Have a great Sunday. Hugs, Trish
