Surgery tomorrow

Well the time is almost here, after a 7 month journey my time to be sleeved is just around the corner. In less than 24 hours my life will change forever. I have been on a clear liquid diet that started Saturday, it's been tough but not as tough as I had imagined it would be. Any advice is appreciated.

    So the radiologists at this hospital don't know how to read an x ray. My surgeon just came in to advise me there is NO leak. Praise The Lord.

    Yes it is truly a blessing. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I had a leak, but I felt so great. The time I've been in the hospital yesterday for surgery and today were really pain free thank god!

    I cried for hours which really made my new tummy ache. It was very difficult especially only having my bf here all my family is in ohio and We live in Cali. I'm mad at the hospital but very thankful that I do not have a leak.
