Tomorrow morning!!

I am so excited and nervous at the same time.  I'm nursing some water for another hour and a half and then nothing til after surgery. My contacts are out, nail polish removed.  I feel so empowered, that I'm taking control of my body.  I've been waiting so long for this, it's hard to believe it's finally going to be here and I can get onto the business of LOSING.

Thank you all for posting your stories in such an honest and quite frankly, entertaining, way.  I feel as educated and informed as I possibly can be, in no small part due to everyone's contributions.

I've met so many nice people on this website and I truly feel blessed.  Special thanks to my girl Jamie and my buddy Mike.

I'm praying for everything to go smoothly and safely, and I'm hoping to see you all on the losing side!

May you have a successful beginning to your journey. May you heal quickly and feel like yourself in no time. Control is the operative word. That is what this surgery will give you. It is up to you what you do with that control. I still have days where I am in more control than others but over all this is the greatest thing I have ever done for myself. You will have days when you think to yourself what did I do to myself but keep the end in mind. It will be worth it. You will do great! Hugs and Best Wishes! Danielle
