  1. Well, me and Aunt Flo made it threw surgery just fine yesterday and I didn't even think about! I did however ask from the water bottle they give you after having a baby and that made things easier as well.
  2. Fee by any chance do you know the breakdown of Kgs vs. lbs?
  3. Pj, I'm sorry about your pain! Krtork gave you some good advise I would try that. I hope it goes away soon!! I think I would call the doctor tomorrow morning about your fever just to be on the safe side. I'm sending you happy thoughts! Fleminld your up and kicking! Good for you! Shamrock best of luck to you! Your going to do great!!! EVERYONE....Don't forget to take your before pictures!
  4. Ok you what is funny...the first thing I said when I woke up in the recovery room was "I'm hungry!"LOL But, what I was really feeling was I think gas pains!LOL I'm starting to feel more alive now. Yesterday I did great. Today was so much harder....the meds they were giving me cause headaches and I didn't know it, and I was pressing that med button during the night like it was going out of style! I have sure paid the price for that today! So my advise to you who get migraine's like me, take it easy on the med button!!! I know that was the cause of my problems today. I have to say I feel so lucky that I got to be roomies with someone I meet here in our group! What a small world it it. Surgery4me, you were awesome! There was another gal from this website too fatbegone13 with us in recovery but, she wasn't roomed on our floor...Sam I did look you for on my walk! I hope everyone who has been banded is doing well with recovery and those being banded tomorrow good luck and don't forget about the meds...they can give you a horrible headache!!!!
  5. Hi Everyone, I just got home from the hospital, and I'm doing good. I just feel tired and nauseous. I give you all details later. Best of luck to everyone who's going in tomorrow!
  6. Well, My friends I'm off to the hospital! I'll see you on the other side!!!!:cry_smile:
  7. Thanks so much Bonnie(AKA Vegas Girl:biggrin:)! Your such a sweetie!! Eazes I'm sending you happy thoughts! Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure i'm going to be up most of the night with you.
  8. Well, this morning I woke up and just about had a heart-attack! Aunt Flo came to see me 4 days early! How dare she do that to me!LOL But, then again that's my luck. Oh well what can I do about it right? Anywho I've done really well since I got back from my vacation and I have managed to lose 8 lbs this week, I'm so happy and I'm so ready to make that number move up! I just got done taking my official before pictures. I took two sets, one with my last outfit I wore not being banded. The other I took in my OLD workout shirt (I love this shirt....I wore it before I got pregnant with my last baby) and a pair of shorts that fit me two years ago, Man I had to force those babies on! I just want to see them go from being super tight on me, to super lose! I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight because of my butterflies as well as my darn cramps!LOL The next time I write it well be from the other side!:frown:

Thanks so much everyone for your support! It really makes this whole process not so scary!

    I know! My husband's got over it already so that's good. I just can't wait to get started. One more day!
  18. LOL...Nice! Well I just talked to the hospital and they said it was fine! It's not my dream situation but, I'm not going to cancel because of it. The nurse says it happens alot, probably because of nerves. Kira I would love to be buddy's!
  19. Thanks Lellow! Your doing so awesome!! OK folks...Can you believe that my surgery is tomorrow and my little friend (if you know what I mean) came to town early this morning!!!!! I'm a little freaked out! I actually started a thread about it.LOL This is so my luck!
  20. Thank You!! I just woke up and surgery is tomorrow morning and I started early, I guess because of stress!
  21. OMG!!! Has anyone had their surgery during their female time of the month?:thumbup:
  22. I've been doing pretty good as far as being nervous goes but, I have to tell you it's starting to kick in! Shebly were together on Wednesday, I'll be thinking of you. My surgery is at 9:30am!!! I can't wait! Man as I'm sitting here really thinking about it the butterflies are REALLY kicking in! Roheryn - I remember seeing that you tube video too! I love watching those, do you know if that girl had Lab Band surgery? Just curious.
  23. Lellow I'm in too! Friday will be day two of the new banded me!!!
  24. I Ditto that! It's truly appreciated!! I met Surgery4me on here and it turns we have the same doctor as well as the same date! Her surgery is at 7:30 and mine is right after her at 9:30 on Wednesday! What a small world!

    Well, I have only two days left until my surgery. And everything was going great until I was going threw my mail and I realized that I had a letter from the hospital. So I read it and found out that my deductible we ALL thought was $3500 is really $7000! I just started crying! 2 days before my SURGERY I find this out! I can't believe it. So my surgery that was costing us $8200 (because of some Doctor's fee that's added after my insurance) is know going to be $11,700, my husband was not very happy! Thank God he cares for my happiness and health! Although I'm sure he wants my old body back as much as I do but, he would never say that out loud!LOL He gave me the go but, not with a smile...he'll get over it. But, I feel like there's even more pressure on me to do well....I guess that's not really a bad thing is it? I can't wait for this to done with!! We just got back from a weeks vacation. We had a great time and ended it with Disneyland for two days, we were last there in January and since then I have put on 20 lbs, WOW did I feel it! I can't carry around this kind of weight anymore, it's so dum! I'm ready to eat to live not live to eat! Two more days, Bring it on!!!!:frown:
