Thankful Butterfly

Tomorrow Morning at 7:30am is my surgery. I'm having the gastric bypass surgery and hernia repair at the same time. My nerves are currently getting the best of me. My support person... better known as my husband is not being so supportive right now because he's getting really nervous too. I was suppose to drink the fleets phospho soda at noon to help clean me out before surgery tomorrow and simply couldn't stomach it. I threw it up time after time. I called the doctors at noon and told them of my issue. I went to the drug store and got some help and have gone once. Can anyone shed some light on how many times I should go before surgery? Any suggestions on things to do or not to do to make tomorrow and the days to follow as easy as possible?

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing supportive site!

First of all, welcome to TT. As you have probably found out, this is such a wonderful site for information and support.

I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't offer any advice in that respect. However, I do want to wish you the best of luck and make sure that you post just as soon as you can or have someone post for you to let us know how you are doing.

You'll be a "loser" tomorrow! Congratulations.

Happiness keeps you sweet, trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human, failures keep you humble. Success keeps you glowing.
