1 week away!

I am going in on 9/8 for my gastric bypass! I am about to start the 2nd week of my pre-operative diet which isn't all that bad; the hardest part was pretending life was "normal" during my sons 2nd birthday party this weekend. As we have kept the surgery between myself, my husband, my parents, my brother & my aunt as we have a lot of people who wouldn't understand the choice to get surgery; although I have found everyone loves to support weight loss? My husband sadly find my family is more supportive of him then his own family & although my father doesn't understand the surgery he has wished me well & hopes it works for me.

I have been doing a lot of reading and prep work with the program thru the hospital that we are using since mid April, I feel really prepared for the surgery & am so ready to be a healthier mommy for my son. A better roll model who's roll doesn't interfere with showing him now to live a healthy life or riding bikes with him. I look forward to taking less medication.

Well I just wanted to put it on there!

Oh, and I forgot to add that there is thread over in the Gastric Bypass Buddies/Mentors section for sept. 8th/9th surgery people so that we can all keep up with each other!

I didn't see that I will have to go look at that thank you! Off to get my hair done before it's too fragile to get done:)

How was your surgery?

[InspirationMySon 135]

Just siting waiting to go in for my operation. Just found out that the anesthesiologist I was supposed to have is booked off on an urgent case so he is going to find me a subtitle substitute. I am supposed to go in at 1pm for surgery but things seem to be running behind today. No nerves yet I assume they'll kick in when I get in the room with my gown on it'll be more real

So how did the surgery go everyone??

[InspirationMySon 135]

We've all been chatting on a thread started for people going on the 8th & 9th mostly.

Summarizing everyone's posts it seems like things have gone really well. All of us are having our individual learning curves obviously but all seem to be in great spirits! Thanks for asking.
