  1. In a lot of pain. Nausea and shoulder pain. I was supposed to be released today, but I'm still here because I can't drink anything without feeling sick. All prayers are appreciated.
  2. I'm still waiting and getting more anxious. But I so appreciate your prayers.
  3. I am in my hospital room now. Waiting to get started. I am so nervous and I'm here all alone. Please send up prayers for a safe and easy procedure, strength, and peace.
  4. I am 14 mins from no food. I thought I would die with the clear liquid diet, but I made it. I pray I can make it to 11:30 tomorrow.
  5. I pray health for each of us tomorrow. God Bless!!
  6. Can I keep up with the schedule? Any suggestions?
  7. Tuesday is the day!!! Clear liquids tomorrow. I'm terrified of all the vitamins.
  8. I pray all goes well for both of us.
  9. Yeah. She showed me to the business office and waited until I was done there to tell me AGAIN that I shouldn't do it. She had already tried to convince me the whole way there.
  10. I'm 11:30 CST!!
  11. Yes I did. I was so easy. Just a waiting game really. They just teach you to read labels and how much Protein you need to take.
  12. So I'm at the hospital getting pre op labs and the nurse says to me. You don't even look like you need the surgery. I asked her how much she thought I weighed and she said 300. Wtf? If a 300 pound woman doesn't need surgery, who does? Btw, I weigh 245. Then she told me about how her sister died after foot surgery. I know this sounds silly, but she had me second guessing my decision. I'm really having cold feet.
  13. Surgery next Tuesday. I am terrified!! I need some encouragement. I don't think I'm ready.
  14. I'm more concerned about being naked with my husband. He likes me now. If I lose weight and gain an ugly scar, I don't think he will be happy.
  15. Do they EVER go away? All the pics I've seen look really bad. I'm just asking.
  16. I have Cigna. If you submit what you are asked you will approved pretty quickly. Mine took 4 days.
  17. I am excited but scared. I have a lower BMI and many feel I could/should be able to lose without the surgery. I just keep thinking what if something goes wrong???
  18. My insurance wouldn't pay for Forest Park, but it is beautiful.
  19. March 12 in Dallas. What hospital??
  20. Me too at Dallas Methodist. Where r u?
