Today is the day

And I am scared out of my MIND. I know this is the right choice for me and my family, but when I even think about how only a few short hours from now I'll have to say see ya later to my toddler who is so attached to me...I cry. I can't help but be afraid that I'm about to kill myself and leave my daughter without a mom.

Please send positive thoughts my way so that I can relax and do what I know in my brain is best!

    You are doing this FOR your family AND yourself. You stand a much higher chance of leaving your baby too soon without surgery. You will come through just fine, and in a month or so you will be well on your way! Many Blessings to you today. You'll be great!

    Thank you. It really is all for her and my husband. It doesn't really help that this is also my first night away from my baby as well.

    I'm trying to pull it together, lol. Maybe they will give me something for anxiety. We'll see.

    Thanks again for your kind words.
