Today's the day.

Will use this post as an update as I go to and recover, if that's ok 

I'm at the hospital checked in. Still pretty calm. Been up since 630 and not really thirsty but starting to get hungry. Got here at 945 for a 1030 check in. There's a pair of sisters having vsg with my surgeon and the second just got called back. I asked what time they were told to be here, said 9am so two hours lol 

slept fine last night. Dreamt about surgery actually. Wife and i looked up how to insert and remove a catheter on the drive down, and I made a video to post on my blog :) 

will let let y'all know when I'm out of surgery and comfortable 

thanks for the support!

Sending prayers and good thoughts for an easy uneventful surgery!  See you on the losers bench.

Sending lots of prayers your way!!  

Helen

you will do just great!!

Good luck!! 

Great job. Here are a few things I've learned from these few months since mine.

Do not buy new clothes for about a year. Buy used or you will just be throwing money away.

My body will only be aware that something has happened to it, until after it happens. In other words, even though you have braced yourself for it mentally. Physically, you have yet to receive the memo. It can be shocking to your system.

Good luck. I hope your experience is smooth and calm. Godspeed 

Thanks everyone. Sitting in preop. Have my iv and gown on.  Just hanging out waiting now

I never got to take a selfie like this I was first in line and they were in a hurry to get me into the o.r. kind of sad that I didn't get the opportunity to selfie the moment

Sending positive thoughts your way!
