Getting Sleeved Feb 8th 2011

So finally after months of waiting, im finally getting my sleeve. I'm soo excited :D yet a little scared. Saw my "shrink" yesterday and she said its completely normal to feel this way. I think what is making me nervous the most is this is my FIRST surgery ever. I'm also nervous about giving myself a shot of heparin, I'm terribly affraid of needles. I think my mother will have to do that for me. So feb 8th is the day. I'll be flying from Hilo, Hi to San Francisco, Ca for the surgery. I'm glad all the waiting is over, ill keep blogging thru this journey.

    Hello!

    I'll be sleeved on the 8th too, I am starting to freak out, but MY shrink this morning told me the same thing: it is normal. I feel like on rollercoaster: one minute overexcited, the other terribly scared!

    I am flying to Greece on Friday, I am going to have a fun weekend with my best pal and my sister-in-law and then get in the hospital on Monday at 8 on an empty stomach.

    The fun weekend is an excuse to keep me distracted and I really hope it will help!

    I wish you all the best and I'll be reading your updates from Greece (if I can find wireless somewhere!)!
