    Cool What the hell moment

    Its about 6a.m. in the morning im headed ti the Miami airport and having a "What the hell am I about to do" moments. Its foggy outside I have 3 to flights to San Diago and don't get picked up until 7p.m. their time, im 3 hours ahead which means it would me 10p.m. here. Ok this whole time I was calm, im still not nervous, still not excited for im just here thinking what the hell. Lol I guess its too late not. I just wish I could erase the first 8 weeks of this process, yeah well see y'all on the sleeved side. P.S. prayers are welcome. : )

    My "what the hell moment" came while laying in the bed in the pre-op room while the surgical nurse took my vitals! I think it's natural to have this feeling just before a life altering surgery! Next thing I knew, I woke up the new me! Good luck & sending good thoughts your way.

    My "what the hell moment" came the night before surgery. I am so happy that I did not give into that and am now on the sleeved side. Good luck, and soon your new journey will have officially embarked!

    My "What the hell" moment came just as the anesthesiologist was putting something in my IV. I said, "I'm really nervooooooooooo..." He was probably thinking, "Nightynight, lady". Now...85 pounds lighter...Ive made two more trips back to TJ and willbe there, again this week!
