[harbottled 0]

Hey everyone!! I am soooooooooooo excited!! I just got my surgery date today and I'm scheduled for November 24. 13 more days and just 2 days before Thanksgiving!! I'm ready though!! More than ready. No one in my family want me to have it right before Thanksgiving. They all want to to wait until the week after. But I don't think I can. I've already waited way too long. I keep thinking about it, weighing my options and now I'm not sure. I keep telling myself that the most important thing about Thanksgiving is spending time with family, not gorging myself. But with my surgery just being two days before Turkey Day, I'll be on a clear liquid diet. Nothing more. Won't be able to even cheat. But I'm ok with that. I can do it. My doctor says that because of my diabetes, he is keeping me overnight. No outpatient for me. Not really excited about staying over but I'll manage.

Anyway, just wanted to share my news and ask for any tips, tricks, words of encouragement, etc. I definitely need all the support I can get.

CONTRATULATIONS!!! I wish you a speedy recovery and we will be seeing you on the losers bench very soon. By the way I had to stay over night also. It wasn't that bad.
