I know there are several of us on the same day, so I thought I would start a thread for us to keep in touch as we go through the process.

I'm having surgery in Dallas. On day 2 of preop diet. So far, so good. No issues to report.

Check in here if you are scheduled for 9/8! :)

I am finalizing the details at home today. It takes a lot of prep to go out of town for 5 days!

We fly to San Diego tomorrow! Nerves haven't hit me yet...probably not until we arrive at the hospital! :-)

Oh! And Murphey ' s law is flexing it's muscles in my house right now!

We are never sick, but right now 2 of my 3 have strep, I just finished amoxicillin this morning, and my husband (and travel companion) has a cold. Ugh!

Need surgery day to hurry up and get here!

I said good bye to my coworkers today for a week and it almost made me cry. I am a service manager and my employees are all male and to see them how so much love and support. It made me tear up. I check in at 8 am Monday morning

Day 1 liquid diet makes me so thankful I didn't have to do it long term! Not bad so far. I check in at 7:00 Monday. Getting everything lined out for my kids next week. Ready to get to the other side!

Getting in a plan tomorrow moring at 7am !!

Shit just got real lol

Good luck everyone! ! Talk to you on the other side

Have a save trip Megan and I hope we talk soon

Safe travels!

Hey Sharon same here can't sleep.....thinking about all the stuff I have to do today before leaving tomorrow morning, not as early as you though but they want me to arrive at the hospital 4 hour before surgery.

On my way to the airport now! This time tomorrow I'll be at the hospital. I've been waiting so long, it doesn't seem like it's real yet!

I agree with @@MeganC , I want FOOD! My husband has Breakfast next to me, and I want to steal it right out of his hands!

Just took our two Great Danes to the kennel now only vacuuming and packing the rest into my hospital bag and I hope I can finally relax till tomorrow morning. Man I want this to be done and over with.

And I am not hungry at all. Still not after 3 weeks of ONLY Optifast ...... I guess I forgot how it is to chew on something

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US !!!!!!!!!!!

I am packing my bag with my son and will be staying in a hotel tonight. Check in at 9:30 am for 11 am surgery. In 48 hours I'll be back home eating jello and recovering. Deep Breath we are really doing this. Best of luck to all of my September 8 friends.
