Tomorrow's the day - gulp!

Well, tomorrow I'm getting the sleeve!

Unfortunately my sleeve sister, who has been beside me for this entire journey, hasn't been approved yet. We have the same insurance. The only difference is the psych reports. Plus I've been in therapy the past 6 months, which I'm sure is what made my approval come through so fast.

Soooo, she's been rescheduled for the 18th in hopes that the insurance will come through by then.

But I have become friends with another gal that I met at our nutrition class - she lives in my town, and she's getting sleeved tomorrow too, by the same surgeon. So I'll have someone to roam the halls with anyway. Hopefully they will put us in the same room, I really like her.

I'm nervous, excited, anxious, scared, and ready to start the rest of my life!

Think of me at noon pacific time.

Good luck. Take it slow. Heal well.

Best of luck today! I'm sure it will go well. Keep us updated!

ETA: My surgeon wouldn't allow 2 WLS patients in the same room, as they didn't want us comparing notes that early post-op. I did find a couple of others by checking the boards with the surgeon names associated with the beds. Unfortunately I was roaming the halls alone as they started off with some nausea (soon rectified). I never had nausea (if you do be sure to ask for something early on).

I was scared stiff going in, and before I knew it, they were all done. I hope it goes very well for you.

You'll do great, a year from now you won't recognize yourself :)

Good luck. Keep us posted how you go.

You can do this! Can't wait to follow your new life...

Best of luck! I'll be right behind you (on Monday).

Hoping all goes well!

Sending you Good Luck from Australia

Be kind to yourself, walk and sip heaps and rest lots to heal

Keeping a seat warm for you on the losers bench :)
