  4. Thanks! You will be GREAT!!! I didn't get nervous until early morning of my surgery (weirdo lol) but just try to focus on the good that having this surgery will do. that's what a friend recommended to me and it worked for me. And it's TOTALLY NORMAL to be a bag of nerves! I am keeping you all in my thoughts and cheering you on from the sidelines! Keep me updated on your journey. {{{BIG HUGS}}}
  5. Hey everyone! Surgery was a success! I went in at 360lbs around 5:45PM. I finally got to my room about 10:35pm and was greeted by my entire family. Dr. Beekley was a few minutes behind me and made sure I was ok. He told me when they were about to transfer me from the operating table to the stretcher, I said to them, "I got it! Let me do it." and moved myself lol....I don't remember a thing but it sure sounds like something I would do. Overall, I am more sore than anything. Walking around helps TREMENDOUSLY!!!! I am sip, sip, sipping and have not had any problems keeping anything down. All smiles over here! Now the REAL work begins!
  6. Today's the day! I have to be at the hospital at 11:30. I am very nervous and couldn't sleep a wink.
  7. Alrighty then! TODAY'S THE BIG DAY!!!!! I have to be at the hospital at 11:30 and I am NERVOUS! It seems like this day snuck up on me like POW! I am grateful that my run with the liquid diet was pretty easy. I want to thank all of you for your kind words of encouragement and support. I will post when I get to my room and get settled.
