Surgery On The 16Th.... Anyone Else??

Hi all!

With much insurance issues, problems with Iron levels and drama from the process I am so happy to say that on Thursday I will be officially on the other side of this process! I am both nervous and excited.... scared and eager.... and the emotions go on and on.... I have lots of issues with anesthisa and nausea so hopefully they aren't too difficult.

Anyone else having surgery on Thursday? I am pretty much flying solo on this one, besides my husband for support.... I wish everyone else lots of success and look forward to reporting as soon as I am out of surgery!

Thanks!!

I had an abnormal EKG and went to the Cardiologist twice for follow ups and they said I was fine and that sometimes some people just have very "mild" abnormal EKG's.. I hope your Dr. says the same :unsure:.

Well everyone... the time is ticking down now! I have been working so hard to make sure I do a perfect last few days of my diet, I had a few off days earlier on. I am excited to get this started and ready to go! I don't get my time to report until tomorrow so I am curious when I will actually have the surgery but am glad I am staying the night. Two little kids at home and a rough time with nausea so I am going to take the extra time they give me gladly!

Wishing everyone a great surgery tomorrow and Thursday! We will all do great! Please share with me your post surgery doings.... I'll need to hear from everyone as I start my journey!!

:rolleyes:

Good luck everyone!!! I went to see a Cardiologist today and EKG was perfect!! So surgery is a go for Thursday!!! So excited-it's been a long journey. I have been doing ok with my diet for the past week. But can't fight the hungry feeling??? I wish everyone all the best and can't wait to eat about your lap band journeys ?

Good luck and congrats
