8 days til surgery!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I had my pre-op nut consultation yesterday. I spent 5 hours with my doctors wife and then at the hospital for testing. It was a nice quiet change from being with the kids and also met a man there who was going to have surgery on the same day. It was so nice to have sort of a camaraderie with him and someone to talk to. We both had previously signed up for lap band and changed our minds. Hopefully all my test will turn out OK. I know the EKG was good...but no word on the chest x-ray or blood work yet. Just going to assume that no news is good news. I'm so very excited. I've lost about 5 lbs pre op diet...but had gained 10 from pigging out the weeks before and my birthday cake and all the DRINKS!

Anyway...I am almost into my final week count down. ♪♫♪♫ it's the final count down....da da da ta da!!!! ♪♫♪♫

OK...it is stuck in my head now...gotta share the pain or pleasure...whichever :P.

ANYWAY!!!!! Sorry to be quiet over here....I'm trying my best to stay on top of my Psychology class work and even get ahead so I don't have to worry so much while I am recuperating. I'm so very excited about everything!!! Is it sad that I enjoyed being AT the hospital? LOL I'm thinking of you all and checking on you when I can! ((hugs)) to you all! Thank you so very much for being here for me....I love having all you wise people to turn to for answers and opinions! <3 Carmen

Good thing you are working ahead in your class. It took about 4 days before my head cleared enough for me to "focus" on any type of work. You'll do fine!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
