TODAY'S THE DAY!

My bags are packed and I can hardly stand it!  I actually had a good night's sleep.  A good friend of mine, who had the VSG 3 years ago and has been a wealth of information, called me right before bed and prayed with me over the phone.  She was giddy and excited, too.  I hope I am as successful as she has been, because she has totally rocked the sleeve and has kept over 100 lbs. off and looks fantastic!

I just kissed my girls goodbye and sent them off to school.  I told them I would be home on Wednesday and that  it would go by fast.  My husband went to his classroom this morning to leave some last minute instructions for his substitute teacher and then will take the rest of the day off and take me to the hospital.  I now need to take a shower with some antiseptic soap that they gave me.  I leave in a little over an hour, but my surgery isn't for another four hours.  My last weigh-in before surgery was 262 lbs. this morning.  Officially 20 lbs. lost before surgery.  Woo hoo!  See ya on the other side...the LOSER'S side!

Wonderful! Congrats Sandy and the very best of luck to you with the surgery and a speedy recovery. I'll be looking forward to reading about your experience! You will be in my thoughts.

Hey, my preop weight was 263 (day of surgery 255) we're starting at pretty much the same place!
