Day 0 - Middle of the Night

Well its here. No more delaying it to another day. No matter pretending its still weeks away. Nope, in EXACTLY 13 hours from now, I will be having my body altered in a way that will forever change me. Sure its reversable, but after everything Ive gone through, really there is no turning back. The nerves are in Full force now.. I know its wrong, but I almost feel like my funeral is tomorrow. As you can see, surgerys are not my thing. I cant count how many times ive read the words 'As with any surgery Death Can Occur'. Sadly that is the hypochondriac in me. The normal thinking me would say that there is a million times higher chance that some idiot could plow into my car instead. Blah..

Had an intersting hiccup today. Less than 24 hours before surgery, I called a call stating that there was a problem with 1 of my blood tests I took over a month ago and that I needed to rush and have another one. (Something about the coagulation of my blood needing to be retested due to a problem with the tube) Thankfully the testing place is LITERALLY a 2 minute WALK from my apartment (Building next door) Highly convenient, considering I only had 1 hour to take it!

In any event it is passed twelve therefor the no food, no drink rules are into play. And wouldnt you know it, im dying of thirst. How convenient.

The surgery is at 130, arrival by 12. By my estimations that will mean I should be leaving by about 430, which - by adding thursday before easter holiday traffic + rush hour, means that my first 3 hours of my new life will be spent in traffic. Joy.

April 21st. Sort of has a ring to it. Not like 4/20 tho... (Not that that applies to me but meh)

Ive heard people refer to this day as there 'new birthday'. Everyone ive talked to about that either thinks that its a bit much, or is right on target. Not quite sure where I sit with the thought.

That darn jingle seems to be stuck in my head.. 'Let your new life begin... call 1800 Get Thin', I suppose it is time for my new life to begin.

I hope I am able to sleep tonight.. im very tired, but my nerves are shot.. it will be quite a battle to see if my nerves will keep me up.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I want to do my final pre-band weigh in, followed by 1 last set of pictures. I am sure I will look back on this and stare in awe over the transformation..

In any event, eyes are drooping.. going to post as many thoughts as I can as tomorrow progresses
