Surgery tomorrow!!!

ShrinkyDink · Aug 25, 2019

Well, my surgery is tomorrow. I have to be there at 7:30 in the morning. I’m nervous & a little scared. My kiddos are worried. I am more excited than anything. Tomorrow is the beginning of my new life. I can’t wait to meet the skinny girl that’s been hiding inside!!! She’s been silenced with food for far too long! Please say a prayer for me and my family if you get a chance. My 14 y/o is being bullied at school. He was jumped twice last week. The kids have been dealt with and charges have been pressed, but I still worry about him. Thanks everybody!!!

Thank you! That was awesome. I’ll be in the hospital at lest 2 days, but maybe 3. He is taking my Lap Band out too.

Brenda thank you so much for that. I work in a hospital and pretty much know the procedure. But I alway love to hear someone else experience. Not everyone reacts the same the morning of not really knowing to expect. You are on your way to a happier, healthier life.
