We are having surgery on the same day. Good luck and speedy recovery. I will pray for all the Feb 22nd -ers.

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on Feb 13th, i am 6 night and 5 days away from my surgery day! I am very excited, and i know i'm prepared. I'm not sure what i'm feeling. I don't know if its nerves, then again, i don't get very nervous often. I just feel like now it's a sitting game, waiting to day. I've been taking prolisec like my doctor told me to, and i'm starting a 5 day liquid pre-op just to do it. tomorrow i'm going to pick up everything on my shopping list, i ordered some Isopure and Protein powder too.... I just feel like, i don't know it's hard to explain. It's almost butterflies, it's like i'm so prepared that i don;t think i am prepared, but i don't know what else i can or should do.
Anyway, i was just wondering if there is anything i should know for the day of surgery or the process from everyone else's experiences. I know what to expect, but at the same time i don't.
I don't know if i made any sense in this, but hopefully some of you can relate to me.

I am REALLY Excited now. I called Aetna this morning to find out what the status of my pre-certification was. I was told that there was some missing info from my Drs office, so I called the surgeon's office and was told that the insurace coordinator had called the info in this morning. I called back to Aetna after lunch to check the status & was told that I was APPROVED!!!!!! I didn't even get a chance to call my surgeon b/c his scheduler was calling me to set up surgery. I will be "SLEEVED" on March 13th and I am so excited. I have 33 days until A NEW ME!!!!!!!! Pre-Op in 10 days (2/20) 2 week Pre-Op Diet in 17 days (2-28). YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
