Tomorrow is the day!!!!!

I'm nervous and excited and I can't sit still. It's finally sinking in that this is really going to happen. I've thought about this for years and with Kaiser being such a circus with the "Jump through this hoop, ok now through this one. Ok, just one more....oh, and this one too", I never thought I'd ever get banded, but here I am!!!! My bag is almost packed and I think all my worries can now be pushed away and I can relax.

I'll arrive at the hospital after 8am and I'll have to have my blood drawn, an MRI, and a few other tests done before I can go under "the knife". I'm down 15lbs as of this morning so I'm past what the nutritionist wanted me to lose. A big pat on the back for me. It wasn't hard really, but drinking my meals isn't something I want to do for the rest of my life. Knowing what awaits me at the end of all this is what will keep me on track.

For all of you that have been here with kind words, thank you so much! Your positive support means the world to me.

My next blog update will be post-op, so CHECK YA LATER!
