Surgery date finally

Hi guys .

So excited to finally be given a date for my sleeve surgery. I will be sleeved on 31st Jan at concord hospital by dr David Joseph ( who has been awesome so far by the way). I will be starting on optifast tomorrow so wish me luck! As with a lot of posts I've read I am a little scared but mostly excited. My biggest concern is as a mother how my children will cope without me for 3-4 days especially since the day of my surgery they are all starting back at 3 new schools ??? Anyway any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have enjoyed reading about everyone for the last month or so and now it's time to join in !
