Band to Sleeve TOMORROW. Yikes!

Tomorrow is my new day. I'm having every emotion imaginable. Just "all over the place". I'm sitting here trying to clean off my desk,return calls and emails and leave things a bit organized. Why did I wait until today? ugh. At least I'm half packed for the hospital. Surgery is at 2, report at noon. I can't believe it's finally here. I want this so bad.

My doctor prescribed neomycin 2 pills every HOUR 4 hours then 1 pill every 4 hours. That's 12 pills in one day. I'm not a good pill taker, but I took the first dose before leaving the house. By the time I dropped my son off at school, I knew it didn't agree with my stomach. I called the office. They said, "Stop taking it. You'll be fine. It was just as a precaution." Now, I'm wishing it didn't upset my stomach so bad because I feel like I'm missing a step and I want to dot all my i's and cross my t's. They wouldn't have told me to stop taking them if I shouldn't have. Right? They also prescribed 3tblsp. milk of mag, which I just took and all seems well so far. Maybe I should've taken today off, too? help.gif

I didn't have to take Neomycin & I did fine. I'm sure they would have suggested other ways to take it if they thought you really needed to choke it down. I think you need the distraction of work. You seem very emotional & nervous. I know I was! You deserve this & everything is going to go fine! Praying for a speedy recovery, your new life begins tomorrow!

Relax.......breathe.........rent a movie, go for a walk........ chill.......Go to your happy place........you're gonna be in and out.....no issures....and feelin the weight dissappearing with every passing minute. .......Besides, you've been there, done that.......You'll be fine.
