Ladies. We are getting down to the wire.. Surgery is very soon.. what's going through your minds right now? As for me Im trying not to think about it, I don't want to be scared or nervous. I think the excitement factor is high BUT I don't want to get too excited. I just want to get it done and start my new life!

Had my pre-op testing today. Very nice nurse explained day of surgery routine and toured the surgical center facilities. Had blood drawn, urine specimen, & EKG.

Also was given lots more paperwork to read in preparation for this drastic change.

My focus now is more on the preparations and changes, than on the reward.

Will see therapist tomorrow.

This is day 4 of pre-op diet and it is getting easier.

I'm on the 23rd, also!!!

I am SO FREAKIN' excited!!! I am totally ready to start my pre-op (have already done a trial run) and am just ready for my suregery day. 2/23 will be the first day of the rest of our lives and although we will have a lot of work ahead of us, the Lap Band is going to be such a wonderful tool to assist us on on way. We may have our ups and downs, but we will be successful as long as we follow the rules and remain positive!

Yea for us February 23rd-ers!! :scared2:

Hey, Ladies

My surgery is on the 22th of this month. I'm excited also I was afraid to tell my mom I finally did and she was very supportive. I'm feeling so good right now. Now you know what will make my day if someone could tell me how to put the ticker and art work on my page. Lol!

We're going to do this ladies and I pray for each and everyone of us.

Be Blessed!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
