One Week Left

Well the anticipation certainly has invited anxiety. The dreams have gotten better, I don't have the intense nightmares anymore. Now that I am down to the last week, the feelings of just wanting to get it over and done with are settling in.

I also realized that worrying about the pain is not productive. Once I have the surgery there is no going back. They won't be able to take the pain away, other than what the pain medication will do. So there really is no worth in the worries I have about the pain.

I have started taking my before pictures. It is going to be cool to document this surgery and my journey to a healthy weight.

I will find out early next week what time my surgery will be on the May 19th. Since it isn't a normal day for the surgery that are working with the hospital to see what time is best for them. They say that it will be in the morning.

I will be in the hospital for 4 days. If all goes well and there are no complications, I will be out of the hospital on the following Monday.

Check back for pictures. I will take pictures of the surgery scar and G-Tube and post those. There will be a warning on the blog so if you are not up to seeing graphic pictures like that, please wait a couple days so that the posts push it to a second page.

I will post before pictures this weekend.
