Less than 24 hours to go. Nerves are starting to kick in. I am hoping for a quick in and out textbook proceedure with no complications. Nurse just called me with recommendations on what to bring. And I am SOOOOO not focused on work today. Probably should have taken the day off.

Tomorrow will be an early day...6 am check in & 7 am surgery time on Friday the 13th. Good thing I am not su·per·sti·tious LOL

But I hope it will all be worth it. Can't wait to start losing weight. I have a long way to get to goal and hope that this will help to keep me motivated, and insure that I lose weight quickly. Would like to lose half of me 135# +/- . But we will take it 5# at a time once I get to the healthy weight range. Because I don't want to look sickly skinny.

Got to get packing...and figure out if I need to buy anything else:

Chapstick, Gas X, Listerine Strips, Tooth brush & Tooth Paste, sugar free vitamin C drops, List of questions for the doctor, magazines, ear plugs, head phones, phone & wall charger, change of clothes (probably will wear what I am going home in, since I will only be in them for the 1/2 hour drive to the surgery center), DVD - nurse said there is a DVD player, ID, Ins Card, Hair Brush & Scrunchie. Too bad I don't know anyone that could braid my hair down in corn rows. Then I wouldn't have to worry about a bunch of big frizzy curls. LOL

I am sure I am forgetting something, but I'll go read everyones recommendations and then add to the list before I pack up tonight.
