Today is THE day!!!
Jul 15, 2007
Well, it is now 5:05 AM and I will be leaving for the hospital shortly. I have to be there at 6:30 AM.
Today is finally the day of my surgery. I am so excited! Guess that's why I couldn't sleep....lol
I have waited my entire life for something like this to happen, and now that it is, it's almost surreal. To think that I may someday actually be thin - how amazing is that? I have never, ever, been thin my entire life. I look forward to seeing the new "outer" me!!
Okay, gotta go make sure I have everything together! Wish me luck!!!
I'll post as soon as I feel up to it to let everyone know how things are going!!
Hugs,
JoDee

Let's Get This Party Started!!
Jun 10, 2007
I had my pre-surgical visit on June 7, 2007 with Dr. Eibes and set my surgery date for July 16, 2007 at Iowa Methodist in Des Moines. I will have my pre-op physical on July 12, 2007 with my local doctor.
I know it's only a few short weeks away, but I am ready to get this party started! I know it won't be a cake walk, and I will have to really work at eating right and exercising, but I look forward to starting a whole new chapter in my life - one that I can be proud of!! And I really look forward to having that "full" feeling and from what I have heard, you have to remember to eat - that's amazing to me and I can't wait to experience everything, the good and the bad!!
