I just found this message board, and have been reading etc. I am scheduled to have my GB out on the 15th of this month. I think I am doubley SCARED as my Mom just passed away at the end of September, so everything is still so fresh in my mind. On top of that I am having it done at the same Hospital in which she died...I have no choice but to do it there :( The thought of being put under so soon after her death is VERY scary to me. I feel like I have so much to do, a 7 yr old daughter...and the rest of her life...I know it's a simple operation etc. but I can't help my anxious feelings. I also realize that I will fee so much better after I get this ugly thing out, and am looking forward to having it out, so that helps just a little. I guess I just needed to vent I suppose :( I just hope all goes well...I NEED it to go well. I do have a QUESTION...

Is there anything any of you can suggest to me that I could do afterwards to speed recovery? Anything that made any of you feel particularly comfortable etc.? Any magic potions??? :) Is there a good way to get all that air/gas out of my body? Thank you for reading my fears :)

PS If I made any typos...I'm sorry
