Tomorrow is my day....so excited!  I leave at 5am to head to the surgery center.  Thank you to everyone for all of your advice..I have taken it all in and feel much more prepared for my big day thanks to all of the support on this board!

Going to see a friend of mine tonight in the hospital that just had her sleeve today...makes me think of what a journey (and a great one) that this has been.  From the sleeve...to now this...my PS!  My final step!

Hoping for a smooth day and controlled pain...and best of all...a fabulous new tummy!!

Thanks

How exciting! Hopefully, the nerves will stay away until you get an iv with some good calming meds.

The worst part for me when I have surgery is the two hour drive to a hospital or surgical center. Talk about nerves! If I just had to wake up and go a few blocks or mile it would not be so bad.  

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and can't wait to see you post that you are out of surgery and doing well. Best wishes!

You will do just fine Patty.  I will see you in the evening as I just found out that I do have to be there for jury duty in Vallejo in the morning.  I am so excited for you!!

When we talked earlier today, I told you that my GYN had sent a referral to the plastics department at Kaiser.  While I was getting my mani/pedi, they called me, and, of course, I couldn't answer and got voicemail when I returned the call.  Now with jury duty tomorrow, I am not sure when I will get to talk to them.  I was really surprised at how quickly they called.  I hope this surgeon is good...lol.  Hopefully, I will be following right behind you soon.

Can't wait to see your final results and I know they will be fabulous!!
