Surgery May 15th...any sleeve sisters???

Just got done with last minute preparations - finished packing, epi-ladied my legs lol, last minute laundry,etc.

I usually like to come home to a nice clean house when I travel, but hubby & kids will be here all week so I'll be lucky if it's still standing when I get home, geesh.

Lmao...no kidding! I am saving the last minute preps for tomorrow. I am sure I will need something to keep me busy during the day...so excited to get this over with!

We have to leave for the airport at 3am, so I'm really getting down to the wire here - just a little over 12 hours to go! Just got checked in for our flight and now just wondering what I'm forgetting or will be wishing I brought lol.

One more day for me - mine is the 14th. Of course, I got my period so now I have to deal with that on top of surgery!! Oh well. I just want tomorrow to get here already!!

How's everybody doing today? I am trying to keep busy...lots to get done so hopefully the day will go by fast! How about you??

I had to get up at 230 this morning to head to the airport, so it's been pretty busy up till now. Im sitting in Salt Lake City waiting for almost 3 hours till my connecting flight. Should be in San Diego around noon local time! Ready to get this show on the road lol

Good luck Melissa!!

Just called my doctor and got my surgery time 11:30am...I'm happy, nervous, excited, scared, afraid but somehow I'm at peace with my decision and I know God will make a way for to come out of this surgery successfully.

On lighter note my grandmother called and asked if I wanted to go out to Breakfast with her today. I was like I can't. She then said ok after your surgery we can go. I was like Grandma I won't be able to eat out for quite sometime and I explained the ins and outs to her and now wants to do the liquid diet thing with me to get a good cleaning out she says.......leave it to people to equate this to a good bm......

Good luck Melissa!

I'm trying to use it as a diary for myself as well as info for others Never blogged before so we'll see how it goes!

My surgery is Thursday, May 17. Won't know the time till between 6:00 & 8:00 pm Wednesday night. I am a little nervous, but comfortable with this decision. I've lost 51 pounds in preparation for this, in hopes it would make the surgery go easier. Also makes the pre-op diet easier as its kind of close to what I've been eating for several months. Good luck to all my fellow may sleevers. Looking forward to heari.g of everyones progress. I so appreciate all the support from everyone hear.

oops, here, not hear.

I had my surgery today. It was supposed to be at 3:30 PM, but the hospital called to have me come in early, so it was actually around 1 PM instead. I was out of recovery & in a room by 5 PM. I've been for one walk around the hall & plan on doing another walk soon to try to wake up my bladder more because the only downfall is that I haven't been able to pee yet! Other than that, though, I'm doing well. I'm glad I have pain medicine, but with the medicine the pain is bearable and not too bad.

Only a few hours until it's my turn on the losers bench....wish me luck!
