9 days until I'm sleeved!
I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I go between forgetting I'm about to embark on a life changing journey, and wondering what this body looks like under all this weight!
I go for my last pre-op appointment Thursday then I'm hopping up on the table on the 31st!!! It still feels surreal. I have read all the threads on what to bring/not to bring to the hospital, what to expect after surgery, but I still feel like it's going to be a big surprise when it's all said and done.
I guess I should finish pulling my documents together (living will, medical power of attorney, etc.) to be prepared, and then I think it's time to put together my recovery play list so I can drown out some hospital noise during recovery. I remember sitting with my brother after he had his elbow reconstructed...I could hardly rest, and I'm not sure he got much rest until we got him home.
Any secret tips or helpful hints that haven't been shared yet? I am so psyched that I'd check in tomorrow morning if I could! (not that I haven't had a few "what the heck am I doing???" moments).
Sorry for the rambling. It's all this excited nervous energy, I think.
Off to try to get some rest!

You'll do fine, pretty green eyes.
- My ability to tolerate shame, to compartmentalize it, to swallow it, increased right along with my belt size. it came with the territory of being heavy. Obese people have a lifetime of experience with shame.
