Woooooooohooooo!!! Tomorrow is my big day!

It is good to be excited - helps with the nerves.. I am sure you will do great! You have all the important things to take - just try to relax and you will be fine... Jackie

Thanks Jackie....that's the plan. It blows my mind that I am excited for surgery... Even my boss said I've never seen someone so excited about getting cut on. However she did say to get all the plastics that I could out of my insurance.... She is really a great boss though. She gave me a card with 20 dollars to buy books and what not for the hospital.....so sweet!! Even if I don't get to read in the hospital I will have all that home time. Woooohooo really looking forward to that. (((hugs))) Anna

This is great Anna! Congrats and best wishes. I think someone said lip balm is so important; all I seemed to have needed were my slippers and robe so that I could walk. I had a lap band in 5 days ago; I wasn't as nervous at the end as I thought I would be; however, I didn't sleep the night before since I had to be in admitting at 6am. My prayers are with you for an uneventful surgery and recovery.... Sonia

Thanks Sonia!! How are you doing? I plan on taking my slippers they are so comfy and I just slip them on. I think that I won't get much sleep tonight either. Oh well plenty of time for that laters. Anna

Hi Anna, I can't believe it's here already!! I say that, but I'm sure for you it's been dragging. I was excited too! I kept thinking why aren't I more nervous. I just wanted to get it done and start losing. My advice - leave the book!! Don't overpack, I think what you have is good. To tell you the truth I didn't even take pjs, I just kept on the hospital attire, that worked for me. Slippers are good. What hospital are you going to be in Anna? And what time is your surgery? Thinking of you honey, and sending lots of good chi your way for a successful surgery, I know it will be. love donna

Thanks Donna!! I was just thinking I probably won't use my jammies but will take them just in case. Most likely I will wear what they have. I know I am so excited and that's what I keep thinking too...why am I not more nervous. I will be in Roanoke Memorial, my surgery is at 8:15. My hubby will update that afternoon. Love ya!! Anna

Hi Anna, Best wishes! I know you are going to do great! I am so very happy for you. I know you have been waiting for this day for a while now. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Let us all know how you do when you feel up to getting back on the computer. Take Care! Hugs, Robin

Thank you Robin. I am so happy to see you post. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, as well as crossing all my fingers and toes!! Hubby will update when he gets home with Logan tomorrow evening. (((hugs))) Anna

Hey Girl! I'm so excited for you. I'll be praying all day. I packed a bunch, even a fan, and didn't use much. I used my glasses (vs. contacts), my robe (to cover the tush, you won't want to change into PJs when you're hooked up to everything), and slippers. You don't have time for reading, if you're not sleeping, you're walking. I brought my meds too. I said **** on the make-up, cute pjs, hair stuff, lotions, etc. I just wanted to go HOME! The only thing I may have changed was to bring something to make my bed more comfortable, like a pillow or extra blanket. I was warned about the heat so much, I didn't think it would get cold. I was in a lot of pain though from the gas. Walk, walk, walk! Love, Amber

Thanks Amber!!! Yeah that's what I hear! I am sure I will over pack and not use much as well. Well maybe not as much as you! I am saying to heck with make-up as well. Yup planning on walking as much as I can!! (((hugs))) Anna
