Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!!! I can't believe its finally here!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe the day is finally here that I've been waiting for, for so long!!! My surgery is at 9:45 tomorrow at St. Agnes in Baltimore, we have to be there 2-hours ahead so that means we'll have to leave home around 5:30am. I live in Delaware, so its about a 2-hour drive, which isn't going to be fun. Trying to get my husband out of bed that earlier, really isn't going to be fun! LOL

I started thinking back when I first started looking into the band, and it was around 2003. It's now 2011, and I'm finally making it happen!! I'm so excited, but so nervous at the same time! I just hope the pain isn't too bad, I'm a big baby when it comes to pain! Anyhow, please keep me in your prayers as I keep all others in mine.

Thanks so much to everyone!!! This site is great for encouragement and support!! For those that are close to your date, best of luck to you! To those who still have a ways to go, just remember we've all been in your shoes and totally understand what its like to wait and wait. In fact, I was suppose to have surgery on May 27th and got a call the week before that said the insurance company denied it. To make a long story short, I had to change doctors and now having my surgery in Baltimore. But in the long run, I'm sure God knows best and that's the way I accepted it. To those who have already been banded, continued success to you!! I'm sure I'll be back on over the weekend, so I'll let you know how things go!!

Thanks a bunch for your support and God Speed to you all!

Tomorrow is my big day too! Nervous, scared, excited. A large part of me thinks I am completely nuts to be doing this.

It's funny but I think I'm nuts if I don't do it.

      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!!
