Surgery Wednesday 10/5/2011

I have no second guesses or worries about surgery. I am so excited. Anesthesia is the only terrifying part of this process. I just wanted to tell my OH family that my date is upcoming and hear some words of encouragement. I love you guys really I tell everyone about OH!

PS. I totally LOL'd when I read the post about waxing the hoohaa before surgery and catheters...so funny someone actually said..."oh no they didnt" when they woke up with the catheter. lmao.

good luck  :) you're gonna do great!  Mine is the 11th.. started liquids this morning and staying positive!

Well you already have an awesome attitude and we all know how much that helps.

I'm on October 18th. YAY OCTOBER SLEEVERS!

Just focus on your pre-op diet and get ready to take a seat on the losers bench!

Let us know how it goes after surgery.

I second that on YAY OCTOBER SLEEVERS mine is the 4th woo hoo. 

Good wishes and a speedy recovery You will do fine.

Wishing you the very best and a speedy recovery! I am Tues so we will be on that losers bench together woo hoo. As for waxing the hoohaa LOL I too have thought about the whole catheter thing and not looking forward to that part but luckily we are asleep at least that is how my surgeons team does it......i just think this way the OR med team has seen it all LOL. I have to do two days of clear liquids only and I am starving lol come on tuesday!!

 OMG l'm glad l read this!  l didn't even THINK about the catheter!! Or maybe l just didn't want to...;) lol!!!

l feel the same way - the only part l don't like is the being out of it part.  l'm on Wednesday the 5th- Good luck to you!!!!!!!!

I BEYOND terrified of being put to sleep. I don't even know why but when they rolled me into the OR, the last thing I remember was them strapping me to the bed like Hannibal Lector and putting the mask on my face. Woke up and was SLEEVED! Don't be afraid....I wish you the best on this journey!

 Hang in there girlfriend!! I just had my surgery Monday and was beyond terrified, I almost got uo and walked out gown & all :) I have a 20 mnth beautiful little boy so for me it was all about him but I knew I had to do it.. Talk to the ladies at the hospital, nurses.. They aren't paid by your dr. or your anesthesiologist so they will usually tell you the scoop and it will make you feel so much better.. Good luck and you will love your transformation!

My surgery is oct 5th too and i am not worried just as calm as i can be for once in my life.... we will be fine good luck to all of u October sleevers....
