My op is tomorrow!!! - WLSurgery.com

traceyashkar · 8th January, 2012

Well it's the big day tomorrow and I'm so excited, start of a new and healthier me. I have my bag packed, meals etc sorted for my husband and sons and list of numbers my husband has to ring after the surgery. The only thing that worries me now is that when I get to the hospital in the morning, i'm told the op has been cancelled, that would be devasting. The past 2 weeks have been really hard with the pre-op diet, especially over christmas and new year, but a small sacrifices for what lies ahead. My husband and family have been so supported and I can not thank them enough.

Don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight as I can't believe its finally here after a long and stressful process, but so glad it is. Onwards and upwards.
