I'm sooooooo excited! I called the insurance co this morning and they said I was approved! Yippee! So then I called the doctors office - I'm really trying to push everyone along so I can get it all done before April 1st - the dr's office said they had me in their pile to set up the surgery date and they would be calling me with a date. I said I hate to be pushy but... and I also know its really crazy to think they can get to me so soon but she said it all depends on the hospital schedule. Actually I am very hopeful because the hospital I'm having it done at is a small hospital and its very possible they'll be able to get me right in.

Pray for me!

Tomorrow is the big day - wow - I can't believe its here already. I'll try to post in the morning before I leave and then when I get home (hopefully Friday).

Pray for me.

Steph, my heart is pounding in anticipation for you!!! I can imagine how excited you are!!!!!

I'll be thinking of you!

Kat

Thanks Kat! You all are so nice and I'm just as excited for you too!

I went and got most of my fill out - they got 7 of the 8.5 that I had. I haven't been able to tell a difference yet but then I havent' eaten yet either. I guess I'm too excited to think of food.

I got to be at the hospital at 5:30 so that means we leave the house at 4:45. I took a sleeping pill in hopes that I can fall asleep by 10 - its only 6:30 now.

I got my sheets changed, a load of clothes in the dry and one in the washer and my kitchen is clean now I just need to sweep and I'm ready to go. Heck I even have my clothes for tomorrow laid out. I got everything done that I could think about at work, and they are all ready to have me gone. LOL just leave already! LOL Finally I said ok, I think you all can survive a week without me. Got my dogs groomed. Geesh I can't think of anything else.

My sister had a tummy tuck a few years ago so she is excited for me too. She said you'll be wearing a bikini and I said yeah right - I'll just be happy to get into a one peice without my flap hanging out the legholes.

I'm off - I'll check in asap - hopefully I'll only be in one night. Read ya later!

Godspeed to ya Steph----you will be in my heart and prayers tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing you back!!

Only a fellow "flapper" would understand the belly out the leg holes--I thought I was the only one!!!

Imagine, soon the only thing hanging out the leg openings of our suits------will be legs!!! What a thought!

Good Luck~ All will go wonderfully, and you will be back telling us how awesome it is!!!!

Sleep well (yeah right!)!!!!

Hugs~~
