Welcome! I'm pretty new here too. I just had my surgery on the 10th. Everyone here seems so nice and their stories inspire me. I was nervous pre-surgery too, that's to be expected. But follow your doc's rules to a tee, listen to your body, and you'll be fine!

I got out of the hospital yesterday and I am getting along pretty well but right now i can see why they want you to pace yourself as I am really tired right now, but I am so very glad to have made the choice for laparoscopic bypass. Did you see the 60 Minutes show last night?

I guess I should post my age to the left... I'm also 49 and my surgery is the day after yours (tomorrow).

As I type right now, you're still asleep, or perhaps, trying to sleep, as your nerves work on whether you made the right decision or not. I haven't read many other threads, so I'll just give you what I'm thinking.

It's life changing, scared or nervousness is completely normal. I should be asleep right now. I managed 2 hours, but sleep isn't easy. All sorts of emotions are going through my head, mostly, will I be able to do it?

I accept that thousands of others HAVE been able to, so what's wrong with me? I'm at 345. I NEED a life change. If it's been done by others, so can I -- so can you!

All the best!
