Recommended Posts

Yikes!!!!

Its finally here. Tomorrow AM. Been getting a bit anxious... surprise!!! Ya the nightmare I had the night before last was my first clue. I was driving a car and the breaks went out. Thank goodness the phone rang, cuz I had just pulled up the E-brake and "ring-ring"

Yesterday I was having internal dialogs with my self. I was a bit redundant with the questions to myself

HEAD: "Really, Seriously...you NEED a Surgery to loose weight???

***pause*** think*** ponder***

SELF: yes I do, haven't figured it out after how many years/trys.

SELF: " you have seen others here in this forum start with the same doubts right beforesurgery...drrrr"

HEAD: "Really Seriously...you

SELF: "shut up HEAD!!!" "we have already discussed this."

I was a little annoyed that my sister is not going to spend the night tonight but is picking me up in the morning. I live closer to the Hospital than she does by a good half hour and the trip to the hospital with out rush hour traffic is an additional hour. She said when she realized I was on Clear liquids only for two days she didn't want to be around my grumpy butt. In the end I think it works out well not because I may be grumpy but I don't need to get into any sister fights smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gifLOL !!!

My furr- babies were just crying by their food bowl while I was on the phone. I asked them if they were hungry and I told them too bad if Iam on a liquid diet than everyone's on a liquid Diet!!!!

Have no fear I will feed them but they could stand to lose a pound or two. A friend the other day asked if my cat ...Bubba was pregnant? I said No HE is not preggers.

Ahhh... I feel better just rambling all my goofiness right now even thought my stomach is growling!!!!! So I have exactly 4 hours left till the midnight no more anything cut off and then around 11:30 pacific time tomorrow (4-11-11) I will no longer be a virgin-- surgery virgin that is wink.gifwink.gifwink.gif

Shoot I still have to pack!!!!!!!!!eek.gifeek.gifeek.gif

I had the same thoughts- do I really need this? I knew I did but I think most of us probably had second thoughts. I think your head/self conversation was spot on! Good luck tomorrow!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
