tomorrow, tuesday march 30 is the big day!!!!!

I'm pretty calm for such a big day being only a few hours away. In fact yesterday I had about20 minutes of such excitement that I shocked myself when I stopped and thought about how could I be so excited about what a drastic undertaking that was goingto happen! Everything is ready togo. I've stuck with my diet and am comfortable that I've kept the 10 required pounds off an think I might have even lost more! BUT what happens if I'm wrong??? Last night I dreamed that I gotto the hospital and they wighed me to find that that hard earned 10 pound struggle was gone! In my dream they sent me home crying BUT I gave up donuts!!! Today they will call me with the time to be at the hosptial whew! I'm drinkig water and eating very light today as I did this weekend. ANY WORDS OF WISDOM, HOPE, PRAYERS,PLEASE? This site has been such a blessing in so many ways, reading others messages has helped me tremondously. thank you all

Pamela, Hang in there you are almost there! Try to think posatively! I know it's hard, but it does help, plus they give you some meds to help you relax. I wasn't scared at all until an hour before the surgery! The meds helped me ralax and the next thing I knew it was over. As for the dreams, isn't the subconcious a strange thing? It is just your nerves coming out. I will think of you and remember you in my prayers. Best of luck! Cathy Marques

Hang in there & keep busy! Time will fly and before you know it, you'll be on the other side! Don't worry about the lbs, I'm sure you're fine. They may not even weigh you at the hospital. Good luck, I wish a speedy recovery to you and please keep us updated on your progress! lisa C

You're almost there! It's normal to be anxious, but know that in a very short time, you're going to be on the other side, losing lots of weight & feeling like a million bucks! I don't remember being weighed the day of surgery so I wouldn't even sweat it. God bless!! Kathy F.

Good luck tomorrow Pam!!! I'll keep you in my prayers. Maggie

Hi Pam I found myself feeling the same way you are today the day before my surgery. I had this incredible calm come over me and stay. It really helped me through those last waiting hours. Of course then the magnesia citrate wasn't working so that kept me preoccupied because they said I couldn't have the surgery unless I "went" so I spent the entire night thinking of ways to "go". It was pretty comical because then once I started I couldn't stop, but they couldn't say I was full of it!! Keep your chin and spirits up! Please keep us updated on your recovery! lots of pre op hugs Cheryl
