Desperate.

My surgery is tuesday. I am by myself. i had help that was coming for my original surgery but it got moved up and now im alone again. I have a serious question.

Im seriously looking at using a taxi service to get back and forth from the hospital. I think i have everything set up here once i get back.

HAS ANYONE ELSE DONE THIS ALONE?

update:

hey!

i was banded on the 13, went very smooth. i had used the same cab for my tests and got to know the cabbie a bit. I was able to use him, he waited for me in the waiting room as required, took me by the drug store drive through to get my perscripts and even helped me up the stairs and insde the cottage im staying at. I had done much to prepare ahead of time and i gotta tell you, it went really smooth. I paid highly for the privlidge. 480 dollars. I figure i would have probably spent that in groceries or something.

still.

if you are alone, and wind up having to go this route, you will be okay. It felt a bit lonely for a day or two and i had a full out pity party the third day out but no horrible things happened.

Pokerprincess --

Congrats on your upcoming banding.

I am no longer in charge of the group meetings as I have recently moved out of state with my job. However, I know the person that is now scheduling the meetings. When you or anyone else would like to attend, please private message me and I will give you the email to the person in charge. It's a great group and would love for all of you to attend.

PLACE: Taco Milagro on Lake Robbins Dr. @ Six Pines

Unfortunately I'll be leaving town earlier that day so I won't be able to make it. Hopefully I can attend the next one!

Let me know how it goes!

Has anyone heard from Stephanie?? I have emailed her twice and not heard back. Does anyone know the details for the next meeting? I assume I missed the July one already or they never had one?? Any info is greatly appreciated.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
