Well, this is it, tomorrow is the big day! I have to be at the hospital at 530 am and surgery is at 730 am. Going to take the kids to my moms tonight, shes going to bring them up after they get me into a room tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, I am very nervous. I am anxious about tomorrow, the future..making sure I do everything right....

I did my pre op 2week liquid diet. There were times I wasn't sure I was going to make it, but with the help of my husband *****fused to feed me

, I made it with out cheating and lost 15 lbs on the way.

So, scooch on over and make room for me!

Good luck. It is very normal to be nervous. It will be worse when you pull into the parking lot. There will be this little part of you wanting to turn around and go home. I have a very protective hubby and he didn't want me to have the surgery so I had to act brave and act like it was no big deal. Even though inside me I wanted to freak out. When I got to the operating room and started talking to everyone in there, I woke up in the recovery room. I don't even remember when they knocked me out. I have no regrets and am glad I did it.

I didn't have any vistors other than my husband. I wanted to be left alone and being sore and groggy I knew I wouldn't be happy to see anyone. I also had work to be done after I woke up. It was sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.

Again good luck tomorrow and try and get some rest today and tonight but I knew it will be hard.

Tomorrow I will be one week out so I know exactly what you are feeling. I was perfectly fine until they were wheeling me into the OR and I had a mild panic attack. At that point I realized that it was very real instead of just a pipedream. The last thing I remember is the anetheologist saying "Goodnight" and then I was in Recovery. So far everything has been going really well. I have my first follow up appointment on Thursday which I'm looking forward to since they didn't weight me before I went into surgery. You will do wonderfully! Best wishes to you!!
