Hello,

I was approved for surgery last Thursday and scheduled the actual surgery date for May 15th. I am beyond excited! I am pleased with how smooth the insurance approval went. It took one day to get an approval so thankfully I did not have to wait. Anyone else have surgery in May? And for those of you who have already had surgery what do I pack in my hospital bag? I am so looking forward to this next chapter in my life.

My surgery is scheduled for May 15th at Brigham and Womens in Boston

May 29th!

Currently waiting in pre surgery waiting room. My day is here! See you all on the other side!!!

There will be many veterans to welcome you and help,you with your post-surgery questions. And as we,anxious presurg watch you,climb up and slid over, we know we can join you soon. I was going to see the barrier was as big as Ayers Rock, but it is no longer permitted to make such a climb, and besides all our preparations will make it that unsumountable. We all will join you as soon as surgery makes it possible. We a re very proud of you today and we always shall be!???

How is everyone doing

Today is day 8, post surgery. I feel better and better every day.
My incision glue is starting to peel, and my mobility is much higher. I walk every night at sunset, and walk a little farther each day.
My incision near my belly button is the most annoying one, it feels sore sometimes and I feel the tugging people talk about. It’s mostly annoying at bedtime when I’m trying to go to sleep and get comfortable.
Sometimes I get really frustrated and sad with this full liquid stage. I’m tired of sweet drinks and soup. ( ideas welcomed!)

I haven’t weighed myself yet and don’t plan to, until my first post op appt on Monday. I don’t want it all to be about the numbers and last night I realized how torturous this would feel if I’m not actually loosing weight, which at some point will happen with a stall.
So, I’m doing pretty good but it’s been an emotional ride.

Looking forward to others updates!!
