Last Blog Entry Before Banding

I leave for the hospital at noon. A friend is driving me. I can't eat or drink but brushed teeth twice and am rinsing mouth. Yes, I am nervous but have faith in my surgeon, Dr. Teng. My daughter is sleeping; we hugged goodbye last night. My son is at summer school. I'll call him from the hospital.

 

I'm not taking much to the hospital. They have gowns you can put on like a robe and booties, although my sandals can be worn like slippers. I am taking a change of clothes, 2 books, my cell phone, my makeup and brush. I just cut my hair really short and "tipped" it blonde, so it requires little care. I look cute, I think.

 

I think I will weigh myself before getting dressed. I've been warned that the scale at the hospital weighs heavy. I don't want to get scolded! I feel like a little kid!

 

Well, that's it. I'm signing off. I'll be home Saturday but will be in a Lortab haze this weekend.

 

Hugs to all! Thanks for all the support.
