It is 4 am and I'm riding in the car on the way in. Weight on the morning of surgery - 267 lbs. I did one more antiseptic scrub, removed all my piercings and rings, and put my slippers on. Unbelievably, the sky is just starting to lighten on the horizon...which is probably good because some fools are still setting off fireworks so maybe they will stop soon. I keep having the morbid thoughts like "I hope this isn't my last sunrise" and "I hope I live to come home and see the kids again." I'm a member of some online VSG communities that have been extremely helpful with nerves and expectations. They are pretty awesome. Obesityhelp.com and verticalsleevetalk.com if anyone wants to check them out. There are a lot of good resources on there.
I feel at peace with everything right now. I'm hungry and thirsty (no fluids after midnight!) and tired. As soon as we arrive at the hospital I'll be completely taken care of. I can't believe it will all be over in just a few hours. Well, I hope I live to make another post (there's that morbidity again). Take care folks. Love you!
