Tomorrow at 7:30 am I will be getting my RNY!!!!!

As I sit here quietly and reflect, I am anxious to get it over and start healing my way through my journey.  Maybe, I am a little nervous as I have an awesome grown daughter and 7 yr old granddaughter that I adore and worry about if something happens that we do not expect. I gave them the I will be fine speech of course, but gave my daughter the if this happens do that speech!  My surgeon is excellent and will do his best job and I am fully prepared.  The seconds are ticking by and it is early in the evening in Texas.  I will need to pack my bag and put on my transderm patch.  Not sure I will sleep.  Doing some last minute laundry and changing the sheets. I think it is so funny that I have worked so hard to get to this moment, a life changing decision and I can sit alone in solitude in peace.  I have prayed about it,  people are praying for me and so this is my next chapter.  My mantra Everything is possible with God and drink drink drink walk walk walk!  See everyone one the other side.

Congratulations and good luck.  I am sure all will be well and before you know it you too will be on the Losers Bench.  I'll be post op 1 week on Friday.

Good luck. Let us know how you're doing when you get home.

You are very smart to give your daughter the "I will be fine" speech because she is probably worrying more than you realize.  Now, let me give you a tiny speech...you now will get to be part of that 7 year-old granddaughter's life more years than you would have otherwise.  Oh yeah, sip sip sip walk walk walk.

Good luck!!! 

Gratz on the surgery and I'm certain everything will go well!

Came across your post...I see today is your big day. I certainly hope you're doing well.

Sending you a cyber hug and well wishes from Tennessee. 

When able try and update us on your status.

Congrats on reaching your surgery date. I am 2 days post op with same surgery. I was discharged earlier today and I'm now at home.  It's normal to have feelings of anxiety and nervousness before the surgery (I had them bad lol). After talking with my nurse today, she said that my emotions may be all over the place because it's such a big change.  I haven't experienced that part yet, but I'm sure it's coming.  I have no doubt that your surgery will be successful and that you'll thank yourself when all is said and done. Good luck to you!
