my last day of being PRE-OP!

[beautifuldisaster 0]

So I am in Eagle Pass,TX at the moment. The driver will be picking me up at 8:15am tomorrow to take me over the border to have my VSG with Dr.Alvarez. My friend is also on her way down here, we will be the only 2 having surgery tomorrow which is kinda cool since it can just be us.

I'm nervous, but I know I am in good hands. I know I will worry like most people do about if they are eating too much, too less, and worried about messing up their sleeve. Then I am nervous because being "fat" is all I have ever known. I know my this time next year,I will look soo much different, even in 6 months i will look different. I know I will not be getting sleep tonight because all these thoughts are running through my mind..

The drive down here was HELL. I drove 14 hours yesturday becaus I just wanted to get here so I could relax today (which trust me I am being a lazy butt today!)....here is the downside...I have to drive all the way back to california starting Sunday because I have school on Thursday...can you say im a crazy woman yet? lol. i will be running around like a chicken with no head.

Bottom line..im nervous..excited...and have other feelings i cant explain. any tips? advice? or words of wisdom would be nice. hell maybe some reassurance. (my spellings sucks sorry lol)

THANKS!!!

Good luck my friend! By now you are on your way...

Can't wait to hear from you after surgery.

It will be fine.

I think you should be prepared to stop very often to get out and walk around a bit during that long drive home. You might even want to get some of the compression socks to wear while driving..you don't want to risk a blood clot.

*hugs*

compression stockings, what a great idea! I bought some for long haul flights, coupla bucks at any Wal-Mart or K-Mart or whatev.

Good luck and hope its all gone well for you..... post as soon as you can, and take it easy on the journey home - I don't envy you a 14hr drive at all.... I felt quite nauseous at the thought of 1.5hrs!!
