I'm here at the INT hospital waiting for surgery with Dr Ponce in a few hours. . Excuse the bad ipad typing. Sitting here in my gown and compression socks. Now the crisis of the moment is my veins. Had to try both hands before they got the iv in, not fun. Then bloodtest guy comes, leaves empty handed 20 mins later and i'm probably covered in bruises from all the failed attempts, he even tried in the little wrist veins ewwwwww. Anyways, other than that still fine, surgery is in 2-3 hours i think. I'll try to keep you updated!

Good luck girlie!! You'll do fine!! God Bless and keep us posted!! <3

Good luck today.... I have the same problems with my veins ugh. Tiny , deep ,rolling veins.... that's the part I dread most when my time comes. Prayers coming your way for a successful surgery and easy recovery. God Bless

Can't wait to hear from the "sleeved you" and how effortless your procedure was!

Sending good thoughts your way!

Best wishes for a successful surgery!

Well they came back again for the blood, took 3 nurses to finally get it. They turned off the ac, put hot compresses on my veins, and still then it took a good 30 mins... I'll be bruised all over that arm, it's covered in puncture wounds... Blech!

Congrats! You are on the way to your new journey.......To a whole new life change...... Yayyyyyyyy!

Good luck! Sending a few prayers your way!
