So i am finally on the other side. I have been sleeved!! It hasnt been that bad an experience so for that i am so thankful. I know that my surgeon is awesome and amazing!
So on thursday i went into the hospital. Was one of the first there for the day, even tho my surgery wasnt scheduled until 10:30m, but they told me to be there at 6am and there was no way i was going to even be 1 minute late and risk it not going ahead!! 
After checking in at reception and doing all the obligatory paperwork, i took a seat, and my sister who dropped me off left to go home and take care of her kids waking up! I only had to wait about 5-10mins before the nurse came and took a group of us around to the day of admission surgery lounge. The lounge was small and had 4 little cubicles. I sat in number 3 since i knew i had a bit of a wait ahead of me and the tv was right in front. 
After about 2 hours of waiting the aneathetist called me to hve a chat. We just went over the usual stuff and i was sent back to the waiting area.
As 10:30am approached i started to get really nervous. Each time a saw a nurse i jumped a little and held my breath. At about 10:45am it was finally my time. Iwas taken to the holding area where i put on the gown and the stockings and awesome paper underwear and by awesome i mean crappy!  and sat in the bed and waited again.

I am losing a little concentration so will finish this later!
