Surgery in two days! in one hour and 20 minutes I start clear liquids - I check into the hospital at 7 a.m. Monday! I am having my last diet coke - giving them up for good after today - they are full of chemicals so this is the best plan.
I am confident that this is going to be a wonderful thing in my life. My nine year old son told me today that he is proud of me. I did not let him see me cry. I told him that the reason this was important was not to be "skinny" but to be healthy - to not have to wear a cpap machine to bed, to lower my cholesterol, to not be diabetic, to not have so much pain every day. And most important so that I will be around and healthy for a long time!
So I pray that all will be good, no slips of the doctor's knife, no bad reactions to anesthesia..... I will post when I am done with the surgery and let you all know that I am still alive and kicking!
I want to say that I learned more from reading the posts in the different forums than I did anywhere else. Everyone on this site is soo nice and helpful. I read every post that I could and re-read them when I got scared.

Thank you all. I am home. Never missed my home quite as much! I had a great surgery. The day after in the hospital I felt good my 9 year old son and husband visited for several hours. The next day, however( today), I had abad morning - nausea , chills, dizzy. They told me I would have to stay anoyther night - ugh - they did another CT and determined it was not a blood clot or leaking stomach. We then changed my pain medicine. And GREAT news- that was the culprit. I was given the option to stay one more night or go home. I CAME HOME. Love hugs and kisses to all of you. !!!!!!
