My surgery was scheduled for 2:45pm. I just got a call to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I know, this is a good thing, less time to dwell on it all day, etc etc, but I seriously am shaking.

Tell me again that voluntarily paying someone a lot of money to cut holes into you and remove parts of your body is a good idea.

I seriously need my lamaze breathing or something. I'm going to eat a popscile (hey! It's how a deal with stress, leave me alone! My therapist is working on it!)

Update: So, now they've called back and it's be there at 7:30. Hello, musical chairs anyone?

That's really scary, but it is really exciting. You will do great. I'm not approved yet, but I'm jealous. You begin your journey tomorrow and that will be a wonderful thing. You know everything you need to (I see you on these forums all the time) and you've done you research. It's time to reap the rewards of all the hard work you put in. Congratulations and let us all know how you are doing tomorrow!!!!

Smile, it'll be fine......and maybe see if your doc will give you a vallium or xanax or something.

Thanks. Go**** seems like just yesterday I was introducing myself here and had three long months to go... ack!!!

You can do it too. The worst part is making the decision and sticking to it I think.

Yeah, I was kinda bugging out being so late in the day and having to wait and fidget and chew my nails. Plus I HATE hospitals so the sooner I get there, the sooner they'll let me the heck OUT of there.
