Heading to Vegas

Apr 26, 2015

In just a few hours, I leave to go to Las Vegas for my VSG. Well, surgery isn't until Wednesday, but tomorrow really starts it. I meet my surgeon, finally, tomorrow afternoon. I have my pre-op check in scheduled for Tuesday. My clear liquids are all packed and ready to go. Hotel is booked and waiting on us. Mom has arrived to watch my kiddo and puppies while hubby and I are gone. I'm scared and excited and too jittery to sleep! Most of all, I'm as ready as I can be. I believe this is the right path for me, and I am thankful for all those that have shared their journey with me thus far.

For the first time in a long time, I truly believe I can succeed. I almost want to cry at how excited I am. If this doesn't work, I don't think anything will - so it has to work. I'm willing to put in the time, effort, and pay out every dime I have in savings to make this happen. If that's not enough, I don't know what is.

I am most looking forward to taking my kids to a rollercoaster park next year. I've always loved rollercoasters! Last year, we hit a Six Flags, but I could only fit on 2 of the rides! It was so embarrassing. My kids had fun, but I want to be on there screaming with them! I can hardly wait to buckle in and not have it pinching, or worse, not fit! I look forward to hiking again, and to being able to ride my bike further! I love to be active and adventurous, and I really hope I'm able to get back into doing all those things I've somehow lost the ability to do. Here's me, crossing my fingers, and praying everything works out as I hope it will.
