So tomorrow at 4:30 in the bloody morning!, I will be heading to the hospital to have my surgery..

Surgery time is scheduled for 7:30 and I have to be there 2 hours early.

I'm nervous and scared, But also excited ready to get it done and over with.

Thankfully my husband took off the week to spend with me, I will be home same day if everything goes well.

My young daughter is staying with her grandparents in Maryland till Wednesday, Miss her already :(

So everything is ready and set into place, Going to try to make it out today (Or send my husband out since I'll be on laxatives) for a few last minute essentials: Heating pad and Isopure..

I will update here come tomorrow morning when I get to the hospital, Or beforehand if I'm feeling nervous..

P.S. I already have an escape plan set up from the hospital in my head, So if you all don't hear from me tomorrow check the news stations they'll probably be covering the story of the crazy woman from NJ with her butt hanging out of a hospital gown terrorizing the town.

@HalloweenBaby24. That part about the escape plan, hella funny. You got this. Just focus on that sweet baby waiting for you. If nerves are really bad, ask for some pre medication. While in the pre op holding area, I asked for a Valium was given one. That may of been the reason why one minute I was looking at the guy insert my iv and the next I was waking up! I'll be checking the news, don't let me see you on there. Lol. Blessings

HalloweenBaby24,

Good luck on your surgery. I hope it is uneventful and routine. I also wish you an easy recovery. Walk as much as you can to get rid of the CO2 gas and prevent blood clots.

I heard a joke on TV that comediene Joan Rivers said. I'm paraphrasing: I'm so old now I can now get a mammogram and a pedicure at the same time :) . I can SO RELATE. At the age of 49 and having weight loss surgery, I've gone from a 48C to a 42Long. I need a border collie bra--one that can "round them up and point them in the right direction" ;) .

Blessings,

Kathleen

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
