Tomorrow is the big day!
Move over losers, I will be joining you on the bench! I don't have my time yet, they are supposed to call me today after noon to let me know when to be at hospital. Anxiety has turned into excitement now. I am so ready to get moving forward. I am sure I will have a moment tomorrow when its all getting started, but I know I can do this. Looking forward to dropping this weight and riding my horses again! Thank you all for the pre-surgical support. I know I will be asking plenty more post surgery!
I am so excited for you Sheacat. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Yahoo Sheacat!!! Wow, tomorrow already. That's so exciting!!!
One thing I'd like to suggest. If you find it difficult to sleep tonight (as many pre-ops have posted they do), don't worry about it. You're going to be sleeping a lot in the days and weeks to come.
Post again when you know the time!
You got this!!! 
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

They want me at the hospital for 8:30 in the morning. :D Is it odd that the major relief is that I shouldn't be too dehydrated? The last "procedure" I had that involved being put out was delayed until 6PM and by the time the anesthesiologist got to me I was so dried up they struggled to find a vein. Hoping that doesn't happen this time 
I will update again when I can! Gonna go cuddle my kiddos and try to keep busy. :D
That totally makes sense. I'm glad it's early!!!
I look forward to hearing from you when you can. No doubt everything will be great!!!! *hugs*

IN THE END WE ONLY REGRET CHANCES WE DIDN'T TAKE. 
Congratulations.
Just follow Sandra's directions for a speedy recovery and give yourself lots of time to sleep, recuperate, get used to the various stages of eating, and the fact that you will have ups and downs.
It's all good!
