Surgery update

:update: Hi gang, :update:

I wanted to fill you all in on my surgery.

Garry and I met with Dr.Voellinger this afternoon and I will not have surgery this week. We have to wait n the insurance company to approve everything.

I do not have to be on a liquid diet before hand:hungry: :clap2: but I will have to be on liquids and mushies for 3 weeks after:faint::(

I will be in for 1 or 2 nights. If it turns out to be open surgery then longer.

It just looks like I'm a lucky one! It isn't that common but does happen. It really does suck, but I have to tell you I am putting it in Gods hands. Everything from the date of the surgery to my sucess. I can't go forward unless I go through this set back so I guess thats what I have to do!

Dr. Voellinger made me feel better and as usual took all the time I needed with him to answer all my questins.

I'm still in a funk but at least I know what I need to do and success is to follow.

I will keep you updated. I'm hoping I can get some sleep. I'm exhausted.

Have a good night.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

Oh Dianne I am so glad you have some time. That is great....That has to ease your mind some.

Keep us posted as to what is going on...I will continue to pray for you as I know God will lead everything and it will be ok.

3 weeks of liquids/ mushies want be so bad....lets just hope it want happen during our next meeting. We would hate to over take the hospital for a saturday luncheon. :(

Ah and just think how much you will loose doing liquids /mushie phase again. I keep saying, I think I'll do liquids for a couple of days....but I never do because I don't have to. Maybe as a show of support I'll do it with you :(

Melissa

Our prayers go with you! You're doing to do great, and will be back on track in no time!

You guys are great! I have actually been thinking liquids wouldn't be to bad, but not that I think about it 3WEEKS ugh..lol...I know the first 2 will be no problem.

Ok I am thinking and you know how I do that, but I want to run this by you. My grandmother as you know is suposed to come on the 16th.

I'm thinking I should wait till she leaves to have the surgery. Garry and my mother think I'm nuts. I don't want to wait but I don't want to be on mushies while she's here and be sore. I don't want to cancel her visit because she's 97!!! So am I crazy to wait till she leaves. It is on my mnd I do want it over with ASAP. Ahhh I don't know what to do. I know I'm worring before I have anything to worry about but, I think it's planning rather than worrying. If I could change her flight then I'd do it in a second and have the surgery as soon as possible.

blahblah blah..sorry

Ok Dianne, seems like things are coming into place for you and you will have it done and over with in no time. Keep your head high and know we are here for you.

Angie

IMHO, I'd go ahead and have it done, even with your grandma coming ... but that's just my opinion. I'm sure it stems from me chomping at the bit to get a band ;)

Actually I am going to postpone her coming most likely. I spoke with my aunt today and she agrees that we should reschedual her for later in March or early April.

I feel things being lifted right off me!!
