While driving to the appt my heart did flip flops why you ask why, BECAUSE THIS JUST GOT REALLY REAL.....YES I AM DOING THIS. WOW. It was really a learning experience, always something to learn. The first thing, they give you this wonderful wonderful Patient Handbook Binder, yes I said binder, any question you can ever think of is answered in this book. A lovely lovely thing to have for you and your supporters. Another yeah I am down 11 lbs, Dr said I am doing great great and I will do wonderful. I am super excited now, I ready to get it going got alot of stuff together before my big grand brand new life...................So excited...Got so much I want to say but to excited can't even get it all out....I did ask him a question that brought chuckles to the room. I ask him you some of us older women getting sleeved are not as perky as we used to be and we don't want know one tripping over the boobies during surgery, so what you gonna do with them.....ROFL.....He said strangely enough that is not the first time I was asked that......Lovely man with a great sense of humor.

Thank you T.......

You will love the robotic surgery. I had my hysterectomy robotically and healed very quickly. Very little pain

Well Diva it is so strange to read your post because aside from the reference to the "Girls" you totally accounted for me day! My final weight in was today too. I lost 18 lbs preop and am enjoying my liquid diet this week. It hasn't been too bad!! I'm excited for my new life. I will be sleeved on Monday! What is your day? Dee
