Sandra, Stay strong! I'm 19 days post-op and was just as scared prior to surgery but, so glad I did it. I was taking 14 pills a day for diabetes, high blood pressure ect. and am down to taking 1 pill a day now. A pure miracle! My high blood pressure is gone and my diabetes is controled by diet and exercise only. This surgery gives you a new healthy life! My thoughts and prayers will be with you for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. God Bless, Dru
