Now that I have my pre-op pics from the doctor I thought I'd start this thread. I have learned so much watching Julie and Puddin I wanted to follow their example and share my journey as well.

I am posting my surgical pre-op photos below but am leaving my before/current photos of my clothed self off this thread for now. Somehow that makes me feel just a little more exposed on this thread. Silly I know since my photos are already on several other threads.

Oh, the stomach flu symptoms seem to have gone away. Crossing fingers they don't reappear, but so far all seems a go for Teusday.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{JU JU}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for tomorrow.

Gooooo DIANE! I can't wait for this to be behind you! So exciting!!!! Tomorrow -- woohoo!

Yeah! Positive vibes are coming your way!

Yeah ghost - be sure to get us some pics - though we know your DH won't be posting them. I have a question does DH stand for Damn Husband or Dear Husband?? Mine is both but not at the same time

Good luck tomorrow!

I have my last appt. Pre- OP with the nutritionist and Dr. tomorrow.

Actually for me he can frequently be both at the same time. Like the Darling Husband who went the extra 9 yards :eek(without telling me) to put away the stuff I asked him to unload from the car into the entry, but then the Damnd Husband turned around threw away nearly $100 in rebate receipts in the process and said it was MY RETARDED MISTAKE for leaving the receipts in the bags. :frusty:

I've got the neighbor lined out to help with post surgery photos probably Thursday or Friday once DH is back at work and out of hair. :heh:

Good luck tomorrow!

Congrats and good luck to you too!

Good luck tomorrow. I'm so excited for you. Write when you feel up to it.

Hoping to post something by Friday. Unfortunately I don't have a laptop so it will either mean sitting at the computer in the guest room or trying to talk my internet challenged mother through the process from my bed.

I hope you're doing well today and are not feeling too much pain.

:gluck:Thinking of you and sending my prayers! :pray: I know it's about you.... but, I... just... can't... wait!!!! :bounce: You might think I'm crazy :rant: , but I will be checking in early, and :eyebrows: late, to hear from you.:spy: Please don't do a"spydr" or a "FoodStampChamp" routine on us... get PS and keep us waiting and worried with no postings! You will be great, and back to laundry in no time, one way or another..:crutch: Take care and get well soon! Here's to you-congratulations...:cocktail: ....Kimberly/AKA maziemommy

THANKYOU EVERYONE for all your words of encouragement. I'm sitting here surfing Lapbandtalk one last time this morning before heading to the hospital. I am so excited/nervous/scared... I just can't wait for this to be done and behind me.

Everyone here has been such a support for me. I don't know what I would have done without you all.

THINKING OF YOU DIANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say goodbye to your gut!

Hope all is going well in the OR, Diane!

Can't wait to hear how it went.
