Surgery in the Morning!

[LadyVelvet 9]

Well...it's here! I will have my surgery tomorrow morning and my sister (2sweet) will have her's right after mine. As I type this it is really hitting home. We are going to be new healthy people starting tomorrow morning....WOW !!

Me and my sis have done so many things together in our lifetime. We have started businesses - been through weddings, divorce, births and deaths. We have each other's back - all the time - if one gets cut we both bleed. If one gets hit by a car...roll her over cause the other one is underneath. If one wins the Lottery....well she better give me some money or I will stalk her for life! Our relationship with food has been almost identical as well and so was our problem with weight. By far out of all the things that we have done together...all the projects that we have started and completed together.....this is by far the best and the most important project we will ever do together. We take care of so many people in our lives but this time we are taking care of ourselves. And Ladies and Gents - this is only the beginning. I can't say that I am scared or nervous exactly.....maybe a little but I am so stoked...so excited....so happy......so high (not on drugs) that I could spit glitter and balloons!

Pray for us as we have truly been praying for everyone here and thanks so much for all the good stuff that is coming out of this forum.

See ya on the Slim Side!!!!!!!

Now ya'll knew I had to chime in after I read my Bestie's [LadyVelvet] post!!! Ditto and double ditto to everything that she said!!! She called me on the phone to tell me that she had started another post so I had to hang up with her and read it myself because I didn't want her to hear me cry!

I'm sitting here at my desk at work sipping on my pre-op Clear liquids and thinking that this time tomorrow I'll be in OR meeting Itty Bitty Belly for the first time!! WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Seems like we just started this journey a few weeks ago and the big day is already here!! I'm too tickled at the thought of not taking any more meds and leading a healthier life for me and my family!!!

Bless you to all the Sleevers that have gone on before us. Thanks for all the invaluable advice that I have received/read since joining this forum!!

I know my Itty Bitty Belly is just like a gym membership . . . it won't work if you don't use it!! Trust me I plan on using it and making sure it stays Itty Bitty!!!

Smooches and much love to everyone!!! See you all on the looser's bench!!!

So excited for both of you and 2Sweetnsugarland! I'll say a prayer for all of you.

I only have a brother but I do have a sister-in-law that I definitely consider my sis! I love her to pieces!!! She is considering doing this too. It's a hard decision for the both of us but how I would love to take this journey with her. I'm so happy for y'all!

How blessed you are to have your sister with you on this journey! My own sisters have been great about calling etc. but you will each know fully what it is like. It will be so interesting to see if you come through this differently!

I will pray for you both tomorrow and don;t forget to let us know how you do! I am starting a post op Red Velvet Gang thread for all the May sleevers and make sure we see you there as soon as humanly possible ;-P How long do you two expect to be in the hospital? Do they have internet? LOL! Mine did but I was not in posting mood for a while...
