    OK! Heading into surgery can be awesome and exciting (and a little anxiety-provoking, too). Be sure to take good care of you. :)

    Good luck! I think waiting and doing the pre op was the hardest! We're all here for support!

    Thanks' everyone! The two-week diet is the most confusing right now, but I guess that's why they have a nut meeting with me next week. Yes, I am excited and scared kind of like going on a roller coaster ride! I am so relieved to know you are all here for me. I am sure there will be a thousand questions to be answered.

Today is the "official" start to my pre-op, but I started it Monday....it hasn't been to bad till I get home from work and now I just want everything I shouldn't have....but it will get better.....I just wish it was the 9th so then I will be a day post-op ;)

    You are right! I was so excited, I was texting and calling everyone to let them know. They did not understand my excitement. I am glad someone here does.

    Best of luck. I had real troubles with gas issues post op, make sure you walk around the hallways often to help with gas being trapped from laparoscopy. You will do just great. Congrats. Everyone here is wonderful and a wealth of knowledge.
