Tomorrow, Aug 1St Is My Big Day!

I have been wanting to post all day but have been busy getting ready for tomorrow! Tomorrow is my surgery!!!

I have to be at the hospital by 8:30 a.m. I have so many emotions going on right now. I'm excited but nervous and anxious all at the same time. Right now I am actually feeling very calm about tomorrow. I'm usually a bundle of nerves when it comes to dr. appointments or anything hospital related. I better just enjoy this calm feeling now because tomorrow I'm sure my anxiety will be 10X worse. My biggest fear will be the wait, having to sit there and wait for my turn in the operating room.

Good Luck all Aug. 1st sleevers! I can't wait to meet the rest of you on the losers bench!

I'm day 3 post-op and it is getting easier every day. I will not lie, when I woke up the first time after surgery I thought to myself why did I do this... I was in pain and those first 24 hours after surely are the worst. I was just waiting and counting the mins. until I could get my first ounce of water! The nurses wouldn't even give me a sponge to wet my mouth with. It was terrible.

I was in the hospital for 1 night and was released probably around 8:00 p.m. on August 2nd. Today is my 3rd day post opt and I am sleeping really well in my own bed. I was able to take a shower yesterday. I got up this morning and made myself some decaf tea.

I know now that it will only get better from here. Thank you for all of the well wishes.
