Ok, surgery tomorrow and why is it so hard to receive a fax? My cardiologist has now faxed clearance 3 times omg!! I am very happy I took off this whole week so I could drive and get the stupid paper in hand and deliver it to the Bariatrics Dr omg! They told me to make sure I take a copy just to make sure things go ok tomorrow... really omg:( I have tried to make sure this is all done and yet the leave me stressing for tomorrow..sigh. Come on 5:30am so I can get this started and over!!

Get the frustrations out of the way. Tomorrow we are going to have a great day, everything will go well, and we will have a quick recovery!!!!

Best of luck to you and everyone else in the roster for tomorrow!!! ?

Took my Milk of Mag at 5 to prepare for tomorrow. Daughter has a choir concert at 7:30. I really hope I can make it. ?

I'm at Toronto Western hospital waiting to be prepped for surgery. So nervous as I has a little one at home with ASD who needs me. He is a big part of why I'm doing this RNY. I need to be healthy and active to be able to meet his needs. Pray for me for a complication free surgery and recovery!

Best of luck to you!!!!!

It’s the day before surgery for me. I’ve been battling a sore throat and cough the last week, which has left me exhausted.

I spent most of yesterday wondering if I’m doing the right thing having surgery. And worried about still being sick before I even got to surgery. Felt quite overwhelmed and wondered why the hell I’m doing this.

I’ve been madly searching on Instagram for inspiration. I’m nervous I’m not ready for this. Worried about getting through liquid diet still and nervous about knowing what to do after.

Yet still know it’s what I need to be doing.



I hope everyone is doing really well. Take care.

You’ve got this and you are going to do great!!! Deep breaths. This is going to be a great journey!!!!

I survived today, just still groggy & super sore. Good luck those going tomorrow! See you on losers bench ☺️

You will be great, I have been on the liquid diet for 2 weeks and I thought that I would NEVER make it but I have it does get easier I promise:) Best of luck tomorrow no matter what you decide.

@Alwzla8 thank you. All still is definitely going ahead just nerves and worries.

So, what is everyone taking to the hospital? I have my phone charger, a robe, change of clothes and the regular bathroom stuff. Can anyone think of anything else? OH and the copies for cardiac clearance LOL:)

Lotion for my hands it is always so dry and my own pillow. Also pajama bottoms and an extra pair of underwear just in case lol

And chapstick
