Lee 19 Posted February 16, 2010 Good Morning everyone! February 17th is finally finally almost here! Tomorrow's my day to become a Sleeve Sister! All of you have helped me figure out this journey and decided on the Sleeve. How lucky I am to have found VST. I knew I didn't want RNY and thought I wanted the Band until I came here and started reading. I feel so fortunate. So to each of you, thank you for helping me along the way. I'm so excited. I'm visualizing the best possible outcome for my surgery and immediate recovery period. I'm visualizing no gas, no nausea, no incision pain. I figure I might as well start from the most positive aspect to create a positive experience. My mantra leading up to surgery is "everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me!" Maybe I'll get it together and write "my story" this afternoon. Again, thanks friends!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted February 16, 2010 I just absolutely love you to pieces, and am so elated that your date is almost here. The title of this thread makes me giggle because we counted down the "sleeps" until John returned from deployment. That made it easier to get through. You know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight and tomorrow. Positive energy vibes coming your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight and tomorrow. Positive energy vibes coming your way. Awww Tiffy! Love you too! You're the absolute best. I've followed your journey as I decided which surgery would be best for me. You have inspired me daily in your finding health and joy. JimsBrat is going to post over at OH in the Lightweights Forum when I get out of surgery. At least she will if my friend remembers to call her! Whenever my son and I go on vacation to some far off part of the world, we always count the sleeps until we see each other again. He's coming home from NY Friday night. He's flying out as soon as classes are over on Friday and staying till Tuesday morning. I'm so excited to hear his new adventures. He's the best nurturer and will take great care of me and make it a fun weekend. Love those positive vibes! Keep em coming please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
