5 days! FIVE!!

I'm so excited and ready to get this show on the road. Wrote short letters to my children and have my bags packed. Cashiers check and cash in my wallet, check. Gotta get the AT&T mx package and I think I'm ready!!

I'm going to Tijuana to Hospital MI doctor, and will be sleeved by dr. Garcia. I feel very confident in my choice. . I have to wake up at 2:30 am to head out the door at 3:45. Gonna get to the airport around 4:45 and the plane leaves 2 hours later. I don't think I'll get much sleep thurs night. Lol

i started my journey last April. I feel as though I've been trough a lot to get me to this point and being so close feels like a dream. I'm not well off and I haven't been thin since I was 16. I just keep repeating in my head "things like this never happen to me!" And it's happening. It's really truly going to happen for me. ( well, lord willing). Praise god!

So I suppose this will be my countdown/update thread. )

I'm going to miss my family. I tear up when I think about it. I know it's only 6 days but I've never even left them overnight. :*(

I will coming in on Sunday. My surgery is Monday, so maybe I'll see you before my surgery. Who shall I look for? Amy?

amytug, I have been following your journey and am very exited and happy for you! I'll be looking for your updates

Psssssst! Amy? A few more days.

I know! 3.5 more sleeps!!

Lol yes, Amy.

I'll be the fat american girl..... Wait!? Lol

I think I'll be heading out of the hospital the night you're flying on, so we might get a night to chat.

How are you doing afa nerves?

Im 3/22 and sooo excited... Looking forward to your updates!! You will do great!!

I'm so excited!!!! Come see me when you get all your tests done Friday incase they kick me out to the hotel before you come back Saturday for your surgery. I will be the OTHER fat white girl ????. Just kiddin! I will text you a mug shot... I should probably take a pic when I wake up... It will probably be a more accurate description of what I will look like blasted out on post surgery pain meds.....half hanging out of a sexy surgery gown. (Note to self... Pack house coat)

You are going to do great! You deserve this and your beautiful babies will reap the life long benefits of a healthy happy mama! Prioritize you and your little chicks will line up and do the same.

PS... I'm writing letters to my herd too.

Amytugs you really do deserve this and so does your family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God speed to each and everyone getting sleeved.

I'm getting stir crazy. I'm snowed in and even if I wasn't, I still don't have anywhere me to be since I've gotten everything taken care of.

Tick tock, tock tock......

Kids keep me pretty busy though, and they have another snow day tomorrow, so. They should go back Thursday and I'll have all day to chill with the two youngest kids and lay out their outfits for the week etc.

So excited.!

Me too! 2 days til I leave bit 3 until I'm sleeved.

Starting to get cold feet (ish) again though. I'm going but lord carry me because I'm getting scared. I want to mother my children ASAP. I don't want to be in the hospital for a long period of time or anything along those lines. I want to get sleeved, come home and be hunky dory.

Amytug,

I'm so excited for you...your time has come! You will do great. Just remember that the first few hours after surgery are tough, but it just keeps getting better and better. My surgery was less than a week ago and I am feeling great I'm sending good thoughts your way...

I know EXACTLY how you are feeling.. I appeared calm, but I was freaking out inside. .I survived the three days before my flight by just putting one foot in front of the other. It was pretty surreal, but that's what I had to do to keep moving forward..also kept reminding myself what my future would be if I backed out. You are almost at the finish line..hang in there!
