new to this forum

Hi      Just thought I would say hello.  I am new to this forum.  I am having surgery on June 30,08 yea its tomorrow and I could really use some encouragement.  I know this is what I have to do for a healthy life.  I am 46 yrs old and want to see my grandchildren grow up.  I think its just nerves.  I will be leaving today to travel 2hrs to the area where I am having surgery.  I have to be there at 6am so its easier for me to stay in a motel.  My family won't be there when I go in. ( they have to put the grand kids at the Y for day care then they will be down.  I should be out of surgery by the time they get there.  I have always told people that I could do this on my own but now I,m not sure.  I am sorry for putting this out there but I have no where else to turn.  i will stop now .  Have a wonderful day. 

Congratulations! I am having VSG on the 8th of next month. You will do great....just get thru the first 3 days and you will do fine! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Thank you I am now at the motel and just relaxing.  The good ole bowel prep that I had to do was not pretty.  Thats why I got a late start.   But I know tomorrow at this time all will be done and I will be on the losers bench.  I will let you know when I am home.
