gamergirl 4,610 Posted August 2, 2013 All right people, this is it. My husband and I go in today. I slept surprisingly well last night and feel ready to face this. More worried about my husband being okay than about me, but that's for no good reason except that I love him dearly I'm going into this feeling very good, except for a niggling doubt that this too, may not work for me. I've tried everything. I haven't even lost anything for the last 8-10 days on a liquid diet of 800 calories, so part of me thinks, I will be that freak of nature for whom this wont work. Again, probably illogical but that's my fear. So asking my fellow sleeves for your thoughts and prayers for us, for a successful surgery, and a positive outcome afterwards. Also want to thank everyone who has posted and educated me. I have learned so much from all of you, and feel grateful for all of you who have shared openly so that the rest of us can go into this journey better prepared than we would have been without you. 2 gmanbat and SmilinNC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamergirl 4,610 Posted August 2, 2013 Thank you all! We just met Dr. Alvarez and he was very charming The hospital is really nice. They gave us the big room so we could be together which was a nice gesture. Ready to have this done. 2 No game and gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
