Well today is THE DAY!!! I'm sitting in the middle of my bed freshly scrubbed, dressed and ready to go [i don't leave for another hour but so what!] I have packed and re-packed my bag so I hope I don't forget anything.

My sister and I are going in today for the VSG. She goes first, I go second. She's a few years older than me and deserves to go first, that is how we were raised. She is my older sister and we were taught to respect each other no matter what. Love that woman more than words could ever say!!:heart: :kiss: :heart: :kiss:

We went and picked up our Mom last night so that she could be with us. Our husbands and grown children will all be there. Yes we are a very close knit family.

We have researched and prayed over this procedure for months so we are more than ready. We will post an update tomorrow and let everyone on this fabulous board know how we are doing.

Peace & Blessings to everyone!

You have an awesome surgeon! Good Luck!

Is LadyVelvet your sister? To both of you BEST WISHES on your surgery today! Remember the first month is the toughest but it will pass very quickly. Come here for support during this time, we will all carry you along.

Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk, rest, rest, rest - repeat!!!

Hi Fairyfaye!! Dang you are already back at work??? You are a real woman!! I'm not going back until the Tuesday after Memorial Day. We are doing great! I went for a walk outside yesterday to the end of my subdivision and then sat by the Water to watch the ducks for about 30 mins. Felt really good to have the sun on my skin!! I go for my 1 week pre op tomorrow so I'm excited about that. According to my scale I've lost 5 lbs since my surgery but I'll take whatever weight loss I can get!!

Honey my incisions are itching too!!! I just keep my stomach well oiled with grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil to make sure the skin doesn't get too dry. Congrats on the 8lbs!!!!

Today I mixed some chicken/rice/noodles Soup together in a blender with alot of chicken broth. It was really good and didn't hurt that much. I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well. Take care and keep in touch!
