Check-in Monday @ 11:30
I had to call this afternoon for my time and I check-in Monday @ 11:30 so not sure what time the surgery will start. Should be home Tuesday evening if all goes well. I've hit the calm before the storm phase since about Monday/Tuesday. I've reached the conclusion that I can't do it in the past, doing it in the future is only going to be riskier if I continue to stay obese because the high blood pressure will multiply into more issues--- therefore NOW is the best time for RNY and I'm going through with it. My daughter won't remember the fat mommy and I can get her eating habits on a healthy track BEFORE they have a chance to get bad.
I am still going to write the letters and give hubby's grandparents some phone numbers just in case anything happens. I'm not so worried now but can't imagine taking things for granted and leaving utter chaos and unanswered questions. It is the precautious trait in me(more like borderline OCD).

You're going to do great, Cort. I was calm too. No idea why folks react in so many different ways. Makes the world go 'round I guess. Swinging lizards for you and wishing you all the best on Monday.

I guess since I had been through many surgeries before, another one wasn't a big deal to me. I was calm and truly expected NOTHING to happen, which it didn't. But, we all react differently - if it gives you peace of mind to be prepared for the worst - then there's absolutely nothing wrong with doing it.
