Thank you everyone!! Wish you guys the best as well!

Hi Guys...

So I'm totally new at this blogging thing.. so I apologize if it reads funny. I'll get the hang of it one day.

So just to give you a little background. I am 32, mother of two. I have been battleing my weight since I was about 10, with lots of losses and more gains. I finally decided to do the Lap Band, because I am at a witts end with this battle.

Originally I was scheduled for my surgery on April 20th, however I started to feel a little sick a few days before, lots of trembling and super super cold.. but no fever. I thought as long as I didn't have a fever, I was safe for my surgery. Well to my luck the night before, after going to bed with 5 blankets and still cold, I woke up at 1am and had 102.7 fever. At that time I called the doctor and he postponed my surgery, he said most likely I had an infection, Oh boy did I... I had the worst bladder / UTI infection I have ever had, and to top it off I had diverticulitis, which is also an infection but in the intestins :biggrin:. I had both things going on at once... thank God my surgery was postponed, I can't imagine feeling as sick as I did on top of a surgery.

Well now I am scheduled for May 11th.. cross my fingers it will happen this time :confused:.

Feel free to contact me any time or to add me on as friends. I am looking foward to new friendships that will develop along with support for a mutual surgery that will tie us together.

I wish everyone the best of luck!!

Take care

Chrissy
