OK this is my last week before the big day next Monday. I have been on the pre op diet for a week now and I am proud to say that I have lost 5 lbs last week.( It wound of been 6 lbs had I not eaten popcorn at the movies on Saturday but oh well.) My surgery is scheduled for 9am Monday so I have to be at the hospital at 7AM. Today though I have one last appointment with my surgeon Dr. Webb and then its off to the pre op testing and to finish up any paperwork that they may need.
Nerves keep popping up as I keep asking myself am I making the right decision but I know deep down that I am. I know that nerves are to be expected as this is a life altering decision. Meredith and I (well more Meredith) have been researching and reading a lot of blogs of individuals who have been "sleeved" and not one person has said that they regret their decision. Matter of fact Mere read me a blog where a gentleman was 4 months post operation and is already down 75+ pounds and off all of his diabetes meds. That is EXACTLY where I want to be. That post is the one that has stuck with me and that post is the one that keeps telling me that I am making the right decision and that post is what makes me excited about what I will be doing for myself to better my life.
