A matter of hours...

Well, only a few more hours to go. I hope I can sleep all right. I have been drinking a lot of water to be hydrated well. Thanks to all the many well-wishers. --Lee

Good luck, Lee!!!! I totally forgot about drinking extra water until you just mentioned it! Guess I'll guzzle before bed tonight! I hope you get a good night's sleep! I'll be thinking about you as we go through surgery on the same day! What a wonderful beginning!! Take care, Ashleigh

hey lee, I want to wish you and all of us may 9thers for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. I am counting down the hours as well. I have to be up and on the road at 5 am. to be at the hospital by 7:30am. I am scheduled for 9:30am. Take care and my prayers are with you and all of us. See you on the losing side!!!! rach

I had my WLS two months ago, and it was the best thing I ever did! It's going to change your life, and this is going to be the best year of your life!! Best wishes to you in your surgery tomorrow!! Good idea to drink a lot of water until the deadline because I remember waking up DYING of thirst!! Gosh, those ice chips tasted SOOOOOO good and I am not an ice chip type person!! Be sure to ask for some when you get to your room. Let us know how it all goes! Trisha -54 lbs since 3/8/05

Two more hours until I check in. I'm all packed and ready. I slept like a log last night, and I feel great both physically and psychologically this morning. I have had so many well wishers, here, in the neighborhood, at church, at work, at my former job and among friends and family. Everybody has been so supportive. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's great to be a loser! --Lee
