Me, too!!!  5 more days!!!  Just hope the strom headed to Ohio Fri & Sat. won't cause problems.  I'm 1.5 hours from the hospital were I'm having the surgery.

I can't beleive it's almost here.  Really not nervous; just ready for the day to be here!  I start researching WLS over 5 yrs ago.  Then a move & I had to find a Dr. in Ohio.  Once I found Dr. Curry & got started with him & his wonderful staff it was 3.5 month for supervised diet and to get approved. Then a month till surgery.

I've been overweight ALL my life I keep wondering what I'll end up looking like (& how much excess skin I'll have.  Most of my weight is in my tummy/apron).

Wishing us all good luck & saying prayer for our surgeries &  for the surgeons & their team.
