Okay Amy I took your idea about the personal thread, what a great idea. Ok well I got my pedi today with a friend of mine and it really helped me to relax. I didn't get the neon color I had talked about because my friend has breast cancer that went with me so I got the breast cancer pink on my toes for her. Then we spent the rest of the day together and it was great until I got ready to leave. She is the strongest person I know and has been through so much in her life but when she hugged me good bye she started to cry and then I started to cry. I told her I would be fine and not to worry and that I would be back before here next Chemo treatment. That was the first emotional breakdown I have had. Actually, I was only crying because she was crying, that's what good friends do right? Well anyway big girl panties are on and I am going to bed(or try anyway)so I can sleep for a few hours. I have to leave the house at 3:20am eastern time. I will keep u guys up on my journey as much as possible.

Yay!!! You're on your way

Your in my thoughts!

Keep us updated!

Love the thread idea! It helps us keep up with everyone <3

Ok so we just got pre op done at MI. We are waiting on another lady to get pre op so I might not have long to write. When r plane landed my phone rang and it was Abraham. I told him that we were still on the plane waiting to get off. He told me after we got are luggage to call him and walk out front. So that what I did and he said he would be there in 1 minute and he was. We were in the van and off within 10 minutes of getting off the plane. There was another lady and her daughter in the van waiting on us. The mother is getting sleeved also by dr Garcia. They r very sweet. Ok off to the hotel so I will post more later.

So excited that your time is finally here!!! Can't wait to hear how well you do!! Keep those big girl panties tight, you'll be just fine!!! One more sleep!!!

Try not to obsess about it, CIndySC. You won't really be able to get a plan together until you find out where your next gate is in Atlanta. When you are done with the first leg and have landed in Atlanta, you should be able to find either a departure/arrival screen that shows you which gate your next leg is at or there is almost always airline personnel that can tell you which gate your next flight is at. If you find that you are short on time, the airline personnel can also help you get to your next gate quickly via cart or whatever.

It has been my experience that Atlanta is pretty easy to navigate, although it's very large. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it!

Now see. I was told to have a light Breakfast and nothin else to eat because of he PRE op testing being done the day I arrive but instead, I was taken straight to the mariott.

I was like ain't that something? Lol I coulda ate. I was hungry too. Not anymore!

I think that might be because dr. Garcia doesn't work Fridays??

CindySC, not to hijack Rohler's thread but Atlanta has a great airport shuttle system to get you from one terminal to another if your gates are in separate terminals. I LOVE the ATL airport!

Just got back from eating are chicken broth. It was really good. They have beef broth too but I didn't know at the time. I was talking to so post op fellow sleevers and the told me. I got to see BreeMarshell and a couple other at the hospital. All of Ready 4a change staff has been out of this world. They meet us at airport within one minute,meet us at hospital outside,stayed with us at the hospital the whole time,had Marriott shuttle waiting on us when we were ready to leave the hospital,was waiting for us at hotel front door when we pulled up,and stayed with us until we headed up to are rooms. My friend and I were told that we would be sleeved 1st in the morning and we have to be in the lobby at 6:45am. They said Dr Garcia has 4 surgery a tomorrow so that's my friend and I,the lady that was in the van with us and Jay1234. (Save travels jay) it is only 7:44 pm in Tijuana and we r all in bed. Lol very long day. They only thing that sucked so far was having 3 big girls in a row of 3 seats on the airplane. I'm so glad we were all friends. I am defiantly going to check on 1st class for the way home. Pray it's not to expensive. Well going to sleep and hope I sleep all night.
