OK, I am now 3 days away from this thing. It has totally consumed my mind and I am having trouble concentrating... I find myself drifting to the actual day and my palms get a little sweaty...

I am going to see STYX this weekend and I am finding it hard to be excited about this (this is NOT normal) knowing what I am going through on Monday! I just got my surgery time 7:30 and I have to be there 1 1/2 hours before hand... I wish I could just forget about it until Sunday night, I know that will never happen..

Anywhooo...

Going out of town, then to parents for sleep over (leaving my daughter there to go bright n early Monday) I am not sure if I will be able to check here or write. If not....

SEE YOU IN BANDLAND!!!

michelle

please let us know how your doing as soon as your up to it!!

I cannot believe it is here already! I get shivers just thinkin' it might have been me!

I'm really thrilled for you and I will be praying for you! You have been researchng and soul-searching and YOU ARE READY!! This is just ONE MORE STEP! (Remind me of all this in a month, ok!?)

How is the pre-diet going? Has it been difficult for you? What did Patrizia advise you for after surgery? Is there a 24-hr fast the day before surgery for Dr. Deol?

Oh, I'm so excited for you!! breathe, breathe, breathe! (Though not too deeply at the concert, you never know what may be airborne! :smoke LOL!

Post as soon as you can! I wonder if Rebecca will give me an update so I can post for you? If you'd like me to, I'd be glad to! Let me know if I can do anything!

Best of luck to you! Just give yourself time to rest the first few days.

Bailey, try to realx and enjoy the concert!! Great idea, to do something so fun and distracting during the last few days. I went on a long weekend trip to Cape Cod the week before my surgery, and it really helped to ease the tension.

Good luck next week, and let us know how it went!!

Good luck!! It is a scary feeling anytime you go in for surgury, just remember how good you will feel when you are losing weight!!

Have fun at the concert!!

As usuall we had a fantastic time! Nice seats so we were able to see the show!

We met the Nelson's, they are definitely easy on the eyes! Very nice guys!!

OKAY,

Now for tomorrow... I have a weird CALM over me, I don't know why but I am going to try to run with it! Every once and awhile I get this flush over me, like what the heck am I doing???

The day after tomorrow at this time I will be home and healing! Will try to pop on and say "hi"!

Fred8998 your short but sweet words are great for me to focus on! Thanks!

Thanks to all who have replied, I showed them to my mother and she thinks it is great that I have a support board like this!!

OH and Debra thanks for letting me take your old date! YOURS will be here real soon!!!

Will talk to you all soon!
