So Surgery is on the 10th and they were supposed to call me today with my surgery time. Guess what no call, I called the office twice and left a message with the surgical nurse who schedules the surgeries and the PA who works with the doctor. And nothing, I am sure everything is ok but in the back of my mind I am freaking out thinking they forgot about me or my surgery was never actually scheduled or something BAHHHHHHHHHHHH, so kind of freaking out a BIT.

Tiffany, hope they call soon. Don't freak out to soon someone just got busy and forgot to make the call(they should KNOW nurses don't forget these things EVERRRRRR)

This was the pic that scared me and kick started my search into exploring wls! Highest wt 284!!

I use isoprene. I work from home for a Dr, that i use to work ofr back in AZ so i lucked out there.. if you get to weak at work, just tell them and leave work..

The time of tye month is the worst to be on the scale. Your body retains so much water it looks like and feels like the scalr hasnt moved. I hate being on tye scale with aunt flo. Its so disappointimg

No pre-op yet. Not looking forward to forking over 200 for it!

I have to do a ten day low sugar full liquid diet. I can only have three servings of dairy and two protein shakes a day. I can have all the broth, water, flavored water sugar free popcicles( stuff like that) that I want! Ten days of it.
