August 26th A brand new me in the making!

I'm overly excited and slightly worried... I have 3 children and mostly I am concerned for them (typical Mom right?!?). My husband is supportive but told me to only do it if it is for me and nobody else... The look on his face & the tear in his eyes when he asked my surgeon if I she was sure that I was going to be okay was difficult for me to see... This is about me... I want to be a better wife and Mom that's all that really matter to me... Please just fast forward me to the recovery room!

Thanks for your support! Good luck to you to... Let's just fast forward to the recovery room huh ;)

My surgery is Aug 26 as well. I have struggled with this issue long enough and am ready for a chance for things to be different. When I get scared or hesitant and wonder what I'm doing to my body, I stop and think about how what I'm already doing, and have done for years, is doing to my body. This is to improve my quality of life for me and those I love. This is a positive thing.... but it took some self-convincing to see it that way!

Thanks for your support! Good luck to you to... Let's just fast forward to the recovery room huh ;)

Yes! Lol I wanna fast forward as we'll lol... It's getting closer.. Any rants angry? Hungry? Lol I get mad cause I get hungry and I know I have: to stick it thru.

Congrats Kay! This is going to be amazing !

I am also the 26th. What an emotional roller coaster this has been. I'm ready for Monday and the protein shake pre-op diet hasn't been too bad.

I have been on that same roller coaster. But I remind myself that this is for the best.
