Surgery tomorrow morning!

Hi there, Tonight is my last day on earth with this big tummy and I'll tell ya what, I am SO ready to give it up and get my new "thumbelina" tummy! I go in tomorrow morning at 6:30 am for surgery. I think I am ready for it - at least as ready as anyone can be for the unknown. Keep me in your prayers! I wanted to thank you all for being so brave and candid with your posts. I know I wouldn't be at this place without reading all you have written. Your courage helps others like me so keep posting! Well, this Magnesium Citrate stuff is not allowing me to be far from the powder room so I'd better get going. See you all on the LOSING side! Whoo hoo! -Dawn

Dawn I'm wishing you the very best with your surgery!! You & your family will be in my thoughts & prayers & I also wanted to wish you the best of Luck threw your awesome journey!! (((BIG HUGZ))) to you! Janelle

Sending you well wishes for a smooth surgery and a SUPER speedy recovery!! How exciting......give us all an update! Take Care Jesi

Dawn, here's hoping you have an uneventful and smooth surgery. I'll be anxious to hear how you are doing ....on the other side. I'm still a few months away but so looking forward to it being my turn. Leslie

Whoo hoo is right chickie!!!!! Good luck and I'm sending so many hugs your way!!! Isn't that bowel prep LOVELY? Ugh! I hated that! But it'll all be a distant memory soon! I'll be thinking of you!!! Hugs, Jen

Dawn, I pray that your surgery went smoothly and your healing will go quickly. Welcome to the losing side. I'll be joining you soon! LoriW

Well all your well-wishes did the trick! The surgery went "picture perfect" (doctor's words, not mine) and I was able to leave the hospital on Wed. instead of Thurs. Liquids, jello and broth are staying down well although the water is hard to get in. I don't know if it's because the pouch is small or what, but it feels weird. I have 2 drains that are just disgusting and have to give myself a blood thinner shot every day and Im still pretty sore, so all this is not a walk in the park, but I think I am doing well and I know eventually I will heal and be better and be truly on the losing side with all of you. WOW, I can't believe I did this! HA! What courage it takes. I applaude you all. Thanks again for your support. It truly helped. *HUGS*
