The time is finally here!! For some reason, I am just anxious to get this over with. I am going to be really pissed if I don't wake up! lol Seriously, if something did go wrong and I am one that didn't make it, this surgery would be my most selfish act as a mother. That is my only concern. I am doing this to have a longer life with my baby. Can you even imagine the opposite?!! Okay, stupid me just read a book from Amazon written by a surgeon for WLS. Of course he had to talk about losing a patient to a blood clot. ARGH!! Oh well, I am a big believer in fate. Hope to see you all on the losers bench in a few days! I have a 3 day hospital stay. Seems longer than a lot of you that I have read about. My surgeon does that for all his patients. All our surgeons are all so different! oh well, Ready to get this over with! I guess I should start packing now!

Have fun storming the castle!

Good luck and good wishes.

I'm sure all will be OK. Best wishes and God bless.

Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow!! Get plenty of rest, walk and fluids - you will be fine. Check in when you can so we all know you are ok.

DazyKrazie, I have had the same thoughts about this being more damaging then helpful especially when I have babies to think about, but if we let our fears get the best of us then we wouldn't be doing the one thing that might actually give us a real fighting chance. Just think of this, my surgeon told me that being 150 over weight has the same effect on your body over time as smoking two, hear that TWO, packs of cigarettes a day!!! And that can cause massive damage and bring a much quicker death. So, trust your gut, and trust fate that this is just one step in taking back control and stepping farther away from death's door rather than closer. Hope all goes fantastic for you and look forward to your updates!

Have fun storming the castle!

I can hear Billy Crystal now!!! ahhh I love the Princess Bride
