Just a little anxious about the huge change but the process has been so smooth this far so I am sure that it is the right thing to do.  I am very excited to finally actually feel that I am going to be successful at controlling my weight.  Even though I don't have a huge amount to lose it is huge to me and something I have had to deal with for most of my 52 years of life .  I made it through the pre-op 6-800 cal two week diet so I know I will do ok after the surgery.  I have lost 8lbs since I started Pre-op.  I am open to any last minute advice:-)

Good luck tomorrow, I'll be swinging lizards for you!  (that's a LW way of telling you I'll be thinking of you and sending up prayers, if you want).

Try to relax. Write things down you think are important and you want to remember once you get home.

Here's to a great, textbook surgery and a boring recovery.  We will be here waiting for you and moving down on the loser's bench.

Advice?  Get a good nights sleep knowing that your doctor will do a fine job tomorrow! What was really comforting to me was that 24/7 you can have someone to talk to on OH.  Don't be shy, ask your questions.  I don't know what I would have done without the support of the ladies here on LW.  Hope to hear back from you when you're up to it.  Take care.
