8 more days till my new tummy! Next Monday August 1st I will have my VSG! Yippee!!! It's almost here. Let's see...tomorrow I see the Psych and Tuesday the Surgeon one last time. I have my stuff bought that I need to bring to the hospital with me. I have protein shakes, Isopure,Celebrate Vits at home. Just found a Trader Joes located in KC so when I am up in KC I will pick up a few supplies from them. Broths, teas, coconut H20, etc. Ideas I got from other fine folks from OH. Cannot thank everyone here for all your support, information, and sharing of your surgery journeys to help me with my upcoming journey. Have not gotten scared yet. The only thing I have gotten scared over is how bad my house is going to get while I am recovering!

That is too funny Julie! We already had our heads examined. Like I said in my post I see the Psych tomorrow. I guess it is to go over the questionaire I filled out. Did you have to do that too?

I had a 3 hour psych eval in the beginning of this process. All that's left for me is a pre op visit to the anesthesiologist the day before my surgery. Then I just have to be at the hospital at 7am on Tuesday. I just hope the days go quickly!!! I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas!!! lol

Congrats surgery sisters! It is exciting, especially looking forward to the benefits the surgery will bring to you both.

Don't worry about the condition of the house - you'll need your energy afterwards to heal.
