It's finally here...SURGERY DAY today!

My time has finally come. I'm packed and ready to leave for the hospital in a few hours to have my band to sleeve revision surgery later today. I'm excited, but also quite nervous (which I'm sure is normal).

If you would, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks everyone!!

Today I have been in lots of pain and still very nauseous. Also having a VERY DIFFICULT time urinating so they been using a straight catheter several times a day to help relieve me.

Praying tomorrow is better.

Thanks for the support everyone.

Congrats on your surgery! It's tough in the beginning, but hang in there because it will start to get better. You deserve this second chance at life and I couldn't be happier for you!

Fatty McFatster,

Congrats on your surgery! Can’t wait to follow your recovery and weight loss. Thanks for sharing so far, and good luck.

Hi fatty, how are you feeling??

Hi. I'm currently on my way home. Had a VERY BAD night as I woke up at 2:00am with severe convulsions. I honestly thought I was going to die as my body shook uncontrollably. It was very scary.

Thankfully I am better now, but they never could pinpoint the problem. We all think it was a severe drug interaction or overdose.

It is quite nerve racking to wake up to severe convulsions. Never had anything like that happen to me before. As a result, I now have really bad neck pain as well.

You really scared me! I did a lot of praying for you and those prayers were answered! I continue to pray for your recovery! ????????
