Dr. Kelly On July 20Th

[Finding Myself 146]

I think the reason they ask these questions is to get a history of your obesity. I didn't remember what I weighed but I was a skinny kid. I got fat in my twenties. Do the best you can, they will help you.

Thank you, Finding Myself. That was my thought. I would just put - healthy weight in those spaces until I could answer with an actual number.

Hey Shirlee, I pray all went well for you today with surgery, I would really like to know how did it go, Im getting ready for mine on the 28th, Im getting really nervous, maybe you can ease my nerves.

Thanks.

Omar responded to my email and sent the questionnaire. Some things are hard to answer - does anyone know what they weighed when they started school? (Age 5-6). I don't even know my teacher's name! How one earth do I answer that? I wasn't ever conscious of a scale until college.

I left a couple of answers blank if I could not answer them. I just tried to answer as many as I could.

Agreed - do the best you can. I put "unknown - above average" for some of the responses. I remember when I started noticing I was heavier than other kids in about 3rd grade. I also remember my first grade pictures were a normal weight.

Everything went well. My biggest issue thus far has been sinus pressure. Very little gas and pain. I stopped taking the ant nausea and pain meds yesterday bc they were setting me back. Going stir crazy now. Waiting for Dr Kelly to come do discharge papers then going for the leak test about noon. The staff at the hospital are all very sweet. There is a language barrier with some but we have managed. A smile is a universal language and it puts both you and the nurses at ease. The one thing that was a life saver for me that I have not seen anyone else post was a cool washcloth over my face. Some if the medicines were making me have hot flashes. You will do great!

[NJsharon 119]

Sherlee, yay, so glad you are doing so well! That is great you are being discharged today & the leak test isn't that bad either. I didn't think it tasted that bad really (not something I would drink every day, but not bad). Enjoy the hotel!

Shirlee, Thank you, Im getting ready and should be there on Sunday Morning, will you still be there? If you are maybe we can meet. I just love meeting new people. I Pray you have a quick recovery.

God Bless.

I leave Sunday at noon so we will be passing at the airport. I am from Fort Myers, across the state from you. Things went perfect so try and relax and enjoy the ride. Good luck, let me know how you make out.

The count down has begun. I leave at 5:30 in the morning for San Diego and surgery on Monday. I am very nervous but I know with God's help everything will be ok. Keep me your prayers everyone.

Thanks

[NJsharon 119]

You will do great reese, but will be praying for you!
