Today is my big day

Will be leaving for the hospital in about an hour.  Am sooo glad the moment has finally arrived.
I am sooo thirsty right now but I feel calm.  Will post later.

Good luck to you! You will be fine! Praying for an uneventful surgery and recovery!!! Remember to get in your liquids, walk, and rest!

Sending you prayers for a safe surgery and a fast recovery. We are so happy to slide over on the losers bench for ya!!!

Best Wishes,
Brenda

Yay for you,  the day is here,  good luck to you for a speedy recovery.

Scoooochin over to make room on this bench that always has room for more.

You'll do well!! I just had mine yesterday and I have one sore incision spot and more gas than I felt yesterday, but I've been on a few brisk walks already and am enjoying these ice chips!! See you on the other side!!!

By the time you read this, you will be sleeved and in recovery mode! Congratulations!!

My best piece of advice? The discomfort is only temporary, and can be managed with walking and pain medication. You are embarking on a whole new journey in your life, there will be hills and valleys to climb, but always ....always ... remember why you did this. List the positives and count your blessings ... you are going to be so happy with your results and do let us know when you are having those lovely NSV's so we can enjoy them right along with you!!

HUGS!!
