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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
