Justin, DON't stress yourself out. Come on think POSITIVE. Of course It feels like you are about to freak out. Every single one of us has felt what you are feeling. Instead of thinking about it do something to prepare yourself for it. shopping, getting were you will be sleeping ready. I sat a little table up with everything I may need. baby wipes, tissue, your medical tape and pads, wound cleaner, etc. So try to keep busy and try not to focus on the bad side. Because there are more on the GOOD side. You will be just find. HUGS

Hi Jason. I saw your question about whether the Open RNY hurts. Ummm, YES it does. Its not the incision, its the muscles. Feels like you've been suckerpunched about a hundred times. Then there was the gas pain. Nothing can be done about it except walking. So, walk alot! By day 3, things get progressively alot better and every day after that gets easier. I also had a little reaction to the staples so I was VERY ready for them to come out. Don't worry, it is worth it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Check out my profile and see my pics for a little inspiration. I'm getting ready to do my PS on Monday and I'm having the same fears all over again. Surgery is scary!! Its normal to be scared but you will be fine. Your doing this for all the right reasons, to be HEALTHY!! Good for you!! Go ahead and email me if you would like.

Justin, best wishes to you for an uneventful surgery and a recovery thats as quick and painfree as possible. This quote is from a book my grandmother gave me before she passed away. It was one or her favorites.(Kahil Gibran) "But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons,let each season encircle all the other seasons, and let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing"
