September Sleevers! As I write this I am waiting in patient registration to go up to get my sleeve. My anxiety has been numbed by a xanex I took this morning but the nerves are still there.

Last night I took a walk though the market picking up the little odds and ends I will need over the next few weeks and as I passed by the cookie aisle, soda, chips, and the bakery I felt nothing. Not sadness, not happiness, not loss but nothing. It has no control over me anymore. The wine section was different .

Than I went to marshalls to pick up some socks and slippers (I never wear socks) for the hospital and I felt something different. I felt happiness that in a few short months I can walk into any store and wear anything I want. I'll probably end up looking like a teenager again because all of my skinny clothes are

Board shorts, surfing t shirts, and vans.

Point is. I am going to have a world to gain with very little to lose. Catch you all in a few hours on the flip side.

I'm now waiting to go into surgery. IVs are in, belly shaved, all the nurses and doctors have paid their visits and asked their questions. I am finally at piece with my decision. Procedure is 30-40 minutes with 60-70 percent of stomach removed. An additional hour in recovery as I have been told. See you all in a few hours.

Good luck! I had mine yesterday, and it was all a lot easier and smoother than I thought it would be. I spent the night at the hospital, and I was discharged about 9:30 this morning.
