On my way to hospital. Feeling good and focused and not too nervous. Finally shook off the last 4 pounds that had crept on over the last few weeks and going into this at 297. I really wanted surgery day to be under 300. I was bummed because it didn't look like that would happen but liquids and nerves seemed to do the trick. And I quit all caffeine a week ago (that was harder than anything in my opinion!!!). So here I go. Ready to conquer the world! It's a bit surreal to be here after this "hurry up and wait" for a date. I am meditating and praying and I'm asking for any and all prayers to come my way too. Thank you to all who have offered encouraging words on the journey so far.

Best of luck to you!!!! Just said a prayer for you:) I'm sure you'll do well!!

its nothing…. 18 hours n you'll be walking!!!!!! its all about getting rid of the gas after surgery so walk walk walk ..

Good luck to you!

Hope all goes well!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU .... sending prayers your way

Prayers headed your way! I pray for a speedy recovery and much success! : )

Good luck...piece of cake.

Ready to conquer the world!
