Blossom, it's almost here! I know how you are feeling since I was in your shoes just a couple of weeks ago. Good Luck, try not to worry so much, it will be over before you know it.

Wow! Thanks you guys! This makes me feel so good!!! :( I am getting just a wee bit nervous, but I think my DH is already about to fall apart. Hopefully, my sister will be there to hold his hand, LOL! I am soooo ready for this. I can't wait to be in bandland!!! :P

Honestly, I was nervous until I left that morning, and I just felt good about the whole thing. I wasn't concerned at all about the surgery. I guess I was just ready to get it done and over!

Blossom, have Hubby stick some peanut butter crackers in his pocket. I got there @ 5:30 a.m., on the o.r. table at 1 p.m. DF was ready to eat paint off the walls.:P

Congratulations Blossom! Your about to start a new journey!

Take pictures and measurements of youself now, to document the changes.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you all so much! I couldn't do it without you guys!!! See you all in BandLand!! :banana :banana :banana :banana

Just found out, I have to be at the hospital at 11am and surgery is scheduled for 12:30. Or so they say....

That's wonderful! Sleep late, take a leisurely soak and shave your legs, tell DH to eat a big breakfast (but not around you!!). Your last night as an "unbanded woman!"
