We leave 1 week from tomorrow Vangel, yessssssss!

The exodus to Mexicali is beginning ... Eyfura's surgery on the 10th, Ruthi and I on the 12th, DebKing on the 17th (darn, we'll miss you by 2 days); who else is headed to Mexicali to see Dr. Aceves?

I don't know if I'm excited or nervous ... maybe both?

Looking forward to it being over and a new chapter in my life opening up.

WE LEAVE TOMORROW, I am nervous and excited but cant wait to start a better life

I'm with you Ruthi ... I can't decide either. Talked to Eyfura today - she was on her way to the hospital for her pre-op work and was a nervous wreck ... apparently she can't stand the sight of needles (imagine that - and she's had 4 children!) ... I told her "well, then don't look at the needles -- stare at the ceiling ... I should have told her to have them bring in a really cute intern and she could stare at him instead!

Road trip starts tomorrow ...

Hey lol...they were all great with the pre-op stuff, the hospital is really nice! I was and am a nervous wreck! I totally made a fool of myself too! I told you that I hated needles...I threw up after they got done taking my blood...I could not calm down fast enough! Sigh...now they tell me they will give me lots of meds before surgery so that any needles that come near me will be after I am drugged out of my mind! I totally feel foolish, but oh well, this is me and I HATE hospitals! I got my pics of my kids hanging up abouve my bed, and one of my from smaller years, I keep telling myself this is for me and them, but yeah I am still a mess! See you guys soon, I can't wait! <3

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
