Well, the title says it all. Hard to believe I started this process only 5 months ago and the big day is just 4 days away. My pre-op surgeon visit went well - he was unlike any surgeon I've ever dealt with. In other words... patience with my questions and what seemed like compassion. :) ha ha!

I don't actually know anyone who has had WLS before so this board has been a huge help and I feel as though I've kind of gotten to know some of the frequent "post-ers" by all of my reading. So, thanks for the advice and hoping to be able to turn to you for support post-op!

I hope you can spend time this weekend relaxing and not worrying too much about the surgery. Remember to sip, walk, rest..repeat after your surgery. Best of luck to you.
