24 HOURS AWAY.....

Well, I am less than hours away.... I had my last meal with a GREAT GROUP of FRIENDS and my family... I want to thank Sue, Jon, Cathy & Fran for comming. I do appreciate the support more than you know, or I show at times... I am ready... I want to do this and start on the NEW LIFE TRACK now!.... Around 8am Sunday, I have to do the Citrate of Mag. and OH BOY... have I been warned... Considering I have IBS, I am not sure it could get worse...lol... Then again... I could be wrong... I have already warned everyone that I dont get very good reception in the bathroom, so if I miss a call... you know why and where I am... exercise those patience...lol... My surgery is scheduled for 1pm Monday, and they want me at the hospital at 10am... The nurse also said that they have been taking everyone about an hour early so I hope that is the case for Monday also.... Again.. Thanks for the support.. and the next time you hear from me... I WILL BE A LOSER........ Paige... *future Skinny PHAT Chic*

Paige, good surgery blessings to you. I'm almost there. I'm sceduled for 12:30 and hope I don't get a hungry headache. I wi**** was earlier in the morning. Waiting will be hard. Yesterday my sweet sister said she's taking the day off work to come be with me at the hospital. I am so happy. I had figured someone would just drop me off and I'd be on my own. You have a wonderful time in the hospital now and remember Losing is a good thing. Love and Light, Debbie

Wahooo you soon will be on the other side. I wish you the best of luck and will have you in my prayers. Jess Ps dont forget to bring a pillow or a nice big stuffed animal for when you cough. my stuffed animal was a god send.

I've got to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. in the morning for them to begin to prep me for surgery. They say that by the time my surgery time (7:30 a.m.) comes, I will have already been knocked out and the next thing that I will remember is waking up about 3-4 hours later in the recovery room...and by that time, they will have my private hospital room for me to move into. Yep - - you see that I, too, am here on the message boards trying to keep on track, not get too scared, or too whatever. I'm looking forward to getting it behind me so I can move forward with my life. It will be really nice not to haul over 100 plus pounds extra with me everywhere I go daily. WOW - - it will be worth all the challenges that I will have to face...it's just getting to that point that will take courage and support from others that have been there or are going through the same type things. 'Hang in there. I know we can all make it. I guess I'll see you on the "losing" side.

Best of luck! I had my surgery last Friday and I updated my profile with details that may hopefully allay your concerns! You'll be in my prayers!
