Surgery on Tuesday

[thenewme1654 0]

I have finally jumped through all the hoops, insurance approved the sleeve, had my final weigh in this past week (lost 22 lbs) and now my surgery is only 3 days away! I can hardly believe it....it has taken 8 long months....and it is nearly here. I would like to say that I have lurked here for several months and learned so much from all of you. What I have noticed most is that no one seems to have regrets about having surgery. That is such a great comfort for me. All of this is suddenly becoming VERY real!! I am anxious and nervous, but I believe I am making the right decision.

My husband and son are very supportive, as are my fellow RNs at work. Even my 84 year old mother is on board (that was a shock). Other friends and family are finding out gradually and that's OK with me.

Now the big hurdle is getting it done and getting on with my new life.

I hope you will all keep me in your thoughts on Tuesday and I'll let you know how it goes. :crying:
