Red face Monday is THE day!

Monday is surgery! Can't believe the day is finally here- and now I'm NERVOUS! I guess it wouldn't be normal NOT to be a bit nervous, but feeling so prepared and waiting so impatiently for the day to arrive- I didn't expect to get a last minute case of the nerves! My stomach is in a knot, my muscles are all tensed up-back and neck sore (and of course I can't take Motrin or anything!), and I haven't slept well the past 2 nights. This weekend will be interesting too- liquid diet, and daily laxatives - and I WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY! Oh boy! Plus, my hubby won't be flying in now until midnight tonight. I'll be up at 5am Saturday to get to work on time, will just see him for a short time after work before I pass out (or try to sleep anyway), then the same thing Sunday. I need him with me, and we just won't have a lot of time together before having to be at the hospital 6am Monday. Whaa! I need some hot tea or something to calm me down!
Any last minute advise?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Good luck with your surgery. Sending prayers your way. Maybe you could work your shifts from the bathroom It is normal to be nervous but be strong and all will be well.

No advice...you have a crazy weekend in front of you...but you'll get through it and time will fly - before you know it it'll be AFTER surgery!
Good luck!

Good luck on Monday. Being nervous is very normal. It is probably good thing you are working all weekend to keep your mind off of it some. I cried while being wheeled into surgery. Before I knew it I was being wheeled into my room.

Welcome and see you soon on the losers bench.
