Yah he signed it, but I had to fill it out and wasn't quite sure what to put, so hopefully it goes through. I've seen a couple more posts from Colleen, she's home and having very bad heartburn, but sounds like she's better. She posted in "1 day post op and scared". I hate this web site, I was trying to private message you and can't find the damn thing. I'm so tired cuz I only slept a few hours, but now can't think cuz my mind is going. My cheap ass scale is finicky. Don't know if I'm losing or not. Hope it's ok. I lost like 3-4 lbs at first but now just staying the same. hmmm????? I'm just afraid to wake up and they say you couldn't be banded..... I just want to get this over with!!!! How are you doing?

How's it going? Cassy emailed me and said she ate crusty bread and tomato soup today and then regretted it cuz it sat right on top of the band.... I DON"T GET IT!!!! Why don't people follow the rules? Isn't that a little fast? I'm scared to screw it up.

I heard Mary in the front, on the phone trying to schedule a upper gi or swallow study or something, saying "she's here, in a wheelchair...." and I thought OMG! I wonder if it's her cuz I hadn't heard from her all night.... then they wheeled her out, we made eye contact I said are you ok? She shook her head no. Looked absolutely miserable, eyes teary and scared. But I don't know what was going on, or what is wrong. I didn't really get to talk to her. I wanted to go hug her, find out whats going on and help her somehow. If my appt wasn't in like 2 minutes I would have tried to go with her to help her, but they where wheeling her out somewhere else. Still haven't heard from her. Wish I could see you in the morning b4 we go in. I'd give you a hug and just knowing we're there for each other, it will help. Mon needs to get here. We'll be ok. I'm dying to hear from you and what you heard from Cassy, how she was. UGH

My appt was 1030. Barely made it. I was looking for you, hoping to see you come out. Figured I might have missed you. So what did Cassy have to say? Have you heard from Colleen? Shit!

OMG! I so wanted to hug you, or do something! Please let me know you're ok. I was worried about you all night. I kept checking to see if you'd posted anything, and I could hardly focus on work. I hope they took good care of you at the office. The Nurse in me wanted to go take care of you, but I didn't think they'd let me come. I'm worried about you.:confused_smile: Send me a note when you can. HUGS!!!

How was your preop? My surgery is at 1100. Don't know if they told me wrong or I just missed it. Whatever. Oh man! I saw Colleen. She looked terrible. She was having trouble. Couldn't swallow anything. She was miserable and they were trying to get her in for a swallow study. She was in a wheel chair and had tears in her eyes. I wanted to do something (nurse) but couldn't of course. Now I"m kind of scared. Another friend went with me (to keep me awake after working all night) and she said I'll be fine, I've had several surgeries before and done ok. aaahhhwwwwwWWWWW NERVES!!! I hope Colleen is ok. I wondered since she hadn't posted through the night. I kept checking. Could hardly even work. I just need to get this over with.

Hi. I think we're ok with "sugar" stuff now, probably won't hurt to cut down, but a little bit won't be terrible. I've been told a couple times that the complex carbs, anything with flour, or potatoes is what we can't have during the pre op diet. Course we can't have the sugary drinks post op. I've been shaky/dizzy today too. Yuck! I was thinking I didn't chose too good either. I'm not a huge steak fan unless its a really good steak, that one wasn't. The shrimp was good, but yah, that lasted like 2 minutes. My girls and I were going to go out, wild women that we are, we drove back home and all decided to call it a night. The pathetic part is, we're night shift. That was really nice of them to come with me though. Had an email from Cassy. Said it wasn't too terrible. About pain of 6. She's able to be up and walking. That's good. Haven't heard from the other girl. Hope she didn't show up too late and end up getting cancelled. I'll definitely hit up starbucks in the morning. Ugh! Maybe I'll see ya. I'm getting so excited! Only 4 more days!!!!

It's all over, how do you feel?

That was fun yesterday. Cool we got to meet. Wish we would have got to talk more. Oh well. Cassy asked Dr. K about simple sugars on preop this morning and he said ok. That's good. Well, I only slept about an hour this afternoon so i'll probably be on here a lot tonight trying to stay awake. Hope I don't crash tomorrow on my way up to my appt. Yikes!

I don't know about a Q pump. I'll ask tomorrow.

Good Luck today! I'm sure you'll do great! Look forward to hearing how everything goes! Ambra

Good luck Girl!!!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear all the details! Ambra

That was fun last night. So, 5 more days. So close yet so far away. Anxious to see how the girls do today. Then we're next, WOO HOO al fricken ready!!!!!
