TOMORROW!!!!!
FINALLY!!!! Surgery tomorrow!!! VSG to RNY!!! The day has come. The last few weeks I have been sooo scared, scared that I won't wake up!!! Everyone has reassured me that I am in good hands!! I am 172 lbs lighter than when I had my VSG, so much healthier!! I feel that I am in better shape now, then when I was 307 lbs 7 years ago. I am soooo freaking exited, a little anxious, but will take a lorazapam before I go to bed and one when I wake up!!!! My surgery is at 2pm, so please keep me in your thoughts!!!!!! You all have been a tremendous help.
