Just piddling around here at home waiting for time to go to the hospital. Check in at 10:30 surgery at 12:30.

Woke up at four and couldn't go back to sleep so, I will be ready for a little nap when I get in to that operation room.

You really think this day will never come, but it has.

A little anxious, but I am sure that is normal.

I hope to be able to update you all later today or early tomorrow.

Thank you for all you support

Hugs and Prayers to those who have had and will have surgery this week.. Sending good wishes for those waiting for approval.

Talk to you soon

.::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.

Well I am back home. The surgeon didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugar was high. I know he is being cautious and a good doctor but I sure am disappointed. It is rescheduled for Dec.5 and I am supposed to somehow get my blood sugars down. So another round of reg diet then two weeks pre op diet and a lot more insulin. Trying to tell myself things happen for a reason and God is in control.

I am so sorry!! What a stressful experience and so dissapointing for you. I guess the best thing is that your doctor is protecting your health and the healthier you are going into the surgery the better the surgery will turn out. Maybe that is why you have been so anxious? Sooooo... now to not get too discouraged and to keep yourself motivated! We are here for you and will help in anyway we can. I can not imagine your frustration but I know you can do this. I hope your doctor gave you a clear plan to follow. Well on a good side you can lose a few more pounds before surgery (right?) which will mean you will lose even more after surgery so YAY! What can we do to help? Keep being positive and this next month with go quickly (that is what they say anyway) especially with the holidays coming and being so busy getting ready for that.

So sorry Vicki... I agree with Ellie... try and look on the bright side of things. Hang in there honey

thank you guys. It will all work out. Just have to pick myself up and keep on going on and doing what i need to do to get the blood sugars lower. Not an easy job, but some how some way.

Just got out of surgery. Holy crap this hurts! Glad its over!
