Good Morning everyone!

February 17th is finally finally almost here! Tomorrow's my day to become a Sleeve Sister! All of you have helped me figure out this journey and decided on the Sleeve. How lucky I am to have found VST. I knew I didn't want RNY and thought I wanted the Band until I came here and started reading. I feel so fortunate. So to each of you, thank you for helping me along the way.

I'm so excited. I'm visualizing the best possible outcome for my surgery and immediate recovery period. I'm visualizing no gas, no nausea, no incision pain. I figure I might as well start from the most positive aspect to create a positive experience.

My mantra leading up to surgery is "everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me!"

Maybe I'll get it together and write "my story" this afternoon.

Again, thanks friends!!

I will be sending postive energy and thoughts your way! I hope you have a super fast recovery!

wish you the best of luck!!! please keep us posted:thumbup:

My prayers are with you. Congratulations on your new start. Please update us when you can.

Thank you all for thinking of me and wishing me well. I'm very excited.

I've spent all night talking to so many friends that called to wish me well.

Everything is set and done. The comfy sofa bed is made up for me for when I get home in case I want to sleep in the living room so I can watch Tivo to entertain me. There's really nothing left to do.

I finished a light dinner before 6pm, then went down to walk on the treadmill for awhile. I kept thinking.... Last Chance Workout! The reality is that what I was thinking about was how much easier it's going to be without 100 extra pounds.

So to everyone that's sending lovely healing energy my way. Thank you!

Wishing you the best Lee! I will be 24 hours behind you!

Altho, I have never counted "sleeps", have always done "get ups"! LOL 2 more get ups for me and it will be my turn!

Hope we are all feeling well enough to check in this weekend and compare stories!

PNW, I'll check in this weekend for sure. I've put my laptop next to my sofabed in the living room. I've set myself up with a place to sleep that has easy access to computer, Tivo and walking space. After Gallbladder surgery I found that I was more comfortable in there propped up on tons of pillows.

Be well and let me know how you and Sarah are doing!

You are so right Lee! My office at home is my hideaway : ) I will likely spend the next week cozy in my recliner - I have pillows and blankies ready!

I am taking my phone to the clinic for sure; will likely take my laptop also. I am hoping to post at least an "all done" message on Thursday night. I just don't see this as being worse, initially anyways, as my tummy tuck and I was home by noon and online that afternoon. Thank goodness for good drugs! haha!

I think you have about 3 more hours! Good Luck!! One more "get up" here : )

Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you. Good luck today!
