2 more days left

Hi everyone: Today is my last of day of work for awhile. I took tomorrow off to be able to drink that lovely soda and then i'm off to the hospital on Friday. I'm hoping my surgery is early so i'm not sitting home all day thinking about it. I'm really nervous, scared and excited. Today will probably be my last day to post until I get home from the hospital. Thanks for all the support and great advise. See you all on the losing side. Kelli

Good Luck and u will do great and cannot wait to hear from u when u get home!! Shannon

Hey Kelli, Best wishes to you...too bad we were not having surgery at the same time...have you been keeping busy?? I am a little overwhelmed with everything I would like to get done before hand, but what ever....I am scared, nervous and excited too. Take care and post as soon as you can....we will be here rooting for you!!! Kristen D

Thanks for all the good wished. I'm very overwhelmed, especially trying to make sure my son is cared for. He's got a very busy weekend and I'm sad I won't be there for him. He's 7 and he has a hockey tournament on Sunday and a field trip on Sunday, but between my husband and sister, I think he's covered. I'm just going to miss him so much. I've never been without him. But he's excited for me to lose weight and become more active with him. Kelli

Oh wow, I didn't know that you were a mom...that does throw a little of stress in the mix. And at that age, it is not like you could have planned a better time...kids are so active at that age between sports, school, birthday parties...eek!! That is going to be the best feeling to have more energy for him. That is huge and such a wonderful thing that you are not only doing it for yourself, but for your son. Make sure you bring a picture and something to remind you of him and you should be fine. I don't have kids, but I can't imagine how it feels to stay a night or two without him when you have not been seperated in 7 yrs!!! are you having RNY or Lap Band?? At least it is not a huge hospital stay...

I'm having RNY. So I should only be in 3 days..i'm hoping.

Kelli, I wish you alot of luck. I am sure you will be fine. You might be home by Sunday afternoon as thats what I did.. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Claudia

Thanks Claudia!

Kelli, Sorry I wasn't able to wish you luck before your date, but now at least I say WOO-HOO! Congratulations, you're "on the other side"!!! Trace
