Tomorows The Big Day!

Currently waiting to see the anesthesiologist...It's finally here, feeling pretty nervous but super motivated, as of today I'm down 23lbs in 3 weeks on my pre-op diet! Woohooo!!!

I bought boots yesterday that go up to my knee and tights that I don't have to cut in the crotch to fit me. Down one pant size, but I didn't buy any in hopes that I would grow out of them too quickly ;) These little successes are so exciting, I'm feeling a little bit more like myself again day after day!

I'm in the lobby at the Cambie Surgical Centre waiting for my appt. with my anesthesiologist, then off to buy some post op liquids and some new bed sheets as a treat to myself :)

Wish me luck!

Thanks guys! Everything went well today with my band surgery according to my nurse and surgeon :) I was in a lot of pain went I came to, it felt like i had done 1000 crunches the day before, yeouch! they gave me extra codeine. And then the nausea started...so they have me extra gravol. I was in my clothes and shoes and chillin in an upright chair within an hour.

When I got home I was felling pukey... I didn't want to throw up, tried very hard not too but I couldn't help it. It was just a little bit of Water and I felt much better after. I've been dozing on the sofa and taking small sips of water (my mouth has been really dry). I've had a bit of shoulder pain from the gas, the pain from when I woke up was supposidly from that too.

All in all, other than the few hours of being dopey and feeling like I was going to be sick it's all good! Its kind of a bizarre feeling though, knowing its inside and that I'm finally here, I've wanted this for 10 years. New chapter began today, exited for the future :)

Wishing you all luck that have their surgeries coming up <3 love and light!

Hello everyone! So I was banded yesterday around noon. Everything went fine.y surgeon requires an overnight stay in the hospital so I'm still here. I'm not experiencing a lot of pain more soreness than anything. I do have a pain pump too:-) so that may be why I'm not in much pain lol. I wanted to update yesterday hut I slept most of the day. I've had mybupper GI xray performed to ensure proper placement and now i get some clear liquids. Yay! As far as I know I'll be going home sometime today. Thanks for all the warm wished and prayers!
