So I am in the home stretch. Today I will be drinking Mag Citrate & am entitled only liquids. My surgery time is 10 am so I need to be there for 8am...I wish I was the first case...but at least I am not stuck with the afternoon. I am in the process of washing all my comfy clothes for a stay in the hospital for 1-2 nights, depending on pain & what not. I am so incredibly excited & nervous...more excited though. So glad to get a second chance...here's to a new birthday...with less of me!

Keep us posted!

Good luck to you amvg85. I was terribly nervous - even breaking down a few times. But in the end, we can be brave. The experience is entirely worthwhile IMHO [but not necessarily easy].

I am now the first case...7:30 is my surgery & I have to be there at 5:30 so nervous but excited!

Good luck! Being the first case is awesome! Everyone is refreshed and ready
