Last night they were in every hour taking vitals or giving me meds, they took blood at 4 am. I was like "seriously?" And then they took my blood sugar a few times.
Today I have seen the nurse, head nurse, the surgeon, the surgeon's nurse practitioner, the hospitalist, the dietician, the chaplain; the tech, house keeping and a volunteer. I also had a transport person and radiology come in to take me for my test.
I'm here for another night because I wasn't getting enough fluids in. I switched to warm fluids and it's much better now.
Hopefully they leave me alone for a few hours tonight.
They aren't making me walk around, they are just glad Im getting up to pee and I took a shower.

I can't find a silent button, I wish!
I have to stay again tonight. After everything UHC put me through for the last two years I'm kind of glad they have to pay for an extra day, the bastards.

Good luck to you!!!!

I dont have good credit and we don't have the money for it. I don't know what else to do. I'm also scared of having surgery alone so far from home.

OMG no I am not asking my h to do that. Ha.
The nurse is calling me today so I guess I'll tell her then.
Just my luck.

Ha I remember hearing stories of med students practicing pelvic exams on women against their will while they're out before surgery. I was thinking if writing on my inner thigh with permanent marker "nothing in vagina, thanks."
Lmao.

It's normal, it's not a big deal. They want to check for ulcers and hernias because if you have them it changes the course of your surgery.

I'm on the 25th too!!' We are surgery twins!
I think fear of regain is a good thing, it will keep you vigilant!

I can't wait to get back into smaller clothes. I have everything from 22 to 16!

I'm trying to get an idea of where I might be in five months, where are you at now if you started at 300 and are five seven?

What is Chico's and why is their 3 a 16?
Good for you! I love that your friend and the sales lady were so supportive of you!

Hey if you could lose weight that way you wouldn't need surgery right?
Some people bodies go into starvation mode, I wouldn't worry.

I'm on the 25th and feeling schizo! It's a roller coaster every day. I go from euphoria to tears. My poor husband.
I'm taking three weeks off. My job is sedentary, but extremely stressful.

Call your surgeon.

I'm the same height but I never looked like that at 180!

How tall are you? Wow!!!

I wish I weren't at work because I want to scream!
Finally got my insurance and hospital to get me approved! A nurse should be calling me to set a date. I'm thinking it will be April.
Only took three years.

Anyone else feel like they got depressed before surgery? Maybe because I don't have a date yet and it seems like it's just taking forever to get there.
I am just so sick of it, I just want it to be over so I can get on with my new life.

It came back negative! Time to start smoking again! Lol just kidding.

I'm really scared too. I know I'm having it sometime in the next few months. I was just looking at before pictures of plastic surgery and I seriously am doubting my decision. I really like my breasts the way they are now and if I end up with them hanging down to my navel I am going to cry.
I don't know if I would be able to get naked in front of my husband again. What am I doing?
Sorry to thread jack but my stomach is in knots!
We can't afford plastic surgery and don't have good credit.
Good luck to you tomorrow!
