Tomorrow is THE day!!!
So...tomorrow is the day! I will going to the hospital at 6:30 in the morning and hopefully home by late afternoon on Saturday. I feel like I have been waiting soooooo long for this day to finally come...now that it is here...I just don't know what to do with myself. I keep running over my mental checklist and everything seems to be checked off! I think I am more nervous about the anesthesia than I am the actual surgery. I know everything will be fine...it is just the anticipation I suppose.... Thanks you all for your words of advice and encouragement over the months. I will let you know how things go when I get home....
I am ready to start my new life....I feel so blessed!

Good luck tomorrow -- you'll do great. I had NO troubles at all with anesthesia, even having multiple allergies and pulmonary hypertension. I actually find it kind of nice because a mask goes over your face and you go to sleep, then wake up when everything is done. Very easy.
Walk and move around as soon as you can. I did arm circles when I had shoulder pain and it went away fast.

Hope you are feeling better and on your way home today. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your new wonderful life. Keep the big picture in mind. It is common to have a stall for a while at the begining as your body adjusts but remember to take your starting measurements because sometimes when the scale aint cooperating you can see you are losing inches and it helps keep the scale from messing with your head too much.
