I'm 10 days post op. Was inpatient for 7 days which was not fun. I couldn't keep any water down, so couldn't go home till I could. Mentally I was a wreck by then, I really needed to be home, but finally I got there. I've been much better since here. My incision is mildly painful, mostly when I move alot or of course want to turn over while sleeping. Still sleeping in the recliner. Food has been a challenge, it is better now, but I'm still on liquid. I tried a scrambled egg yesterday and it hurt so bad!!!!! I'm kinda scared now to try anthing new. Thats it for now. Deb

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm not really scared at this point, jittery I guess. Can't really sit still and am pretty hungry. Laxative and clear liquids all day. Yuck....LOL. I'll be glad when I can just go to bed, hopefully I can sleep. I've been meditating and working hard on preparing myself mentally. I'm prepared to start healing meditation as soon as I come to, and my family knows I want healing meditation tapes playing immediatly. I think my biggest fear is what if I'm the one it doesn't work on? Well I guess I'll drink some more water and try to read for a while. I'm praying for all you other folks who will be going under with me tomorrow and all those still in the recovery process. I appreciate all the comments and prayers that have been sent. You can never have to many prayers. Deb

Dear Debbie, I shall be praying that God gives you a peaceful and serene heart. I shall be praying that he keeps you in the palm of His hand and that He guides the surgeon's hands. May God bless you and keep you safe, Marie

hi debbie.......just wanted to say hi and good luck with your surgery! I had mine 10 and 1/2 weeks ago and have lost 51 pounds to date. I know how you feel about being afraid of death....I was too. I called all my relatives to make sure everyone knew that I wanted to be cremated and not buried! LOL. You never know what will happen....but chances of anything going wrong are very slim. Good luck to you!!

Ok only 7 days left. I'm really getting nervous now. I read the posts on the message board and it makes me feel better to know my fears are similar to others. You can't help to think about what if I die. What about child, my husband, my family? But I'm keeping positive and know that God will take care of me. I believe very strongly in meditation and intend to working healing meditation all this week, throught the surgery and afterwards. One week and counting..... Deb
