Dear FRIENDS.... I have my alarm set for Monday, August 4th at 3:15 AM EST! I have to wash with Hibiclens and leave by 4AM to be at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio by 5:30AM! My surgery is at 7:30AM EST and I will officially be sleeved. I am so blessed and excited to be part of this community and want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your posts. I have spend many nights reading your posts and being inspired by your journey.

QUESTION: What is your BEST advise for me while I am in the hospital????

congrats and good luck! my best advice is to try to stay relaxed. i know that's easier said than done, i was panicking a few days before, but it all worked out so well that i would do it again in a heartbeat! (i was sleeved 6/25)

i'm sure you will do great! just take it day by day and once you're home, remember to sip plenty of water/liquids and walk!

keep us posted!

Hi Cindy !!! I will be checking in at 8 am on Monday into Mercy Medical in Long Island NY.. Yay for us on a whole new chapter in our lives! Wishing you all the best for a new beginning

Congrats dear! How exciting!! I'll be sending you some good mojo and juju on the 4th!!!!!
