Well I hope things continue that way for you. I dislike getting an IV a lot. Just because my Veins are **** ?

Well I spoke too soon.......heparin shots in the stomach. Ugh that sucks.
Otherwise, I feel good.
The nurse woke me for vitals and of course here I now lay wide awake.

Well Good luck and may you have a Peaceful Smooth Surgery. I'll be on the other side ready to welcome you to Kangaroo Kamp, because, like me --you and Curvy Mom too will have a pouch. Welcome to My World!???

I honestly feel really good.
I'm having some coffee right now, the iv bag is almost done and then I am getting discharged early afternoon.

I will tell you....small sips and walk.
I get up and walk every hour and then come back and use that incentive spirometer.
Oh and I had the lovely surprise of heparin shots in my stomach.

Good luck to you today!!!!!

Thank you! I will have a heparin shot before surgery so I am not looking forward to that.

Thanks for the advice!

I actually had a male nurse growl me out because my veins were " small", told him "Maybe,it's a good thing I'm having a weight loss so my body will match them soon!" Jeezy Peasy, screen at me for somethi,g I CAN control not the veins GOD gave ME! Didn't much like him anyway, always acted like I was an imposition to take care off, only sour note in any of my Medical contacts at OSU, everybody else kind, considerate and want me to succeed in my Weight Endeavors. So Hairy Larry can go jump in the lake, far as I'm concerned!?

I got the call. I have to be at the hospital at 5:00AM tomorrow. I am excited yet very nervous as I have never had any type of surgery before. Can't wait for this part to be over so I can start my journey to being healthier.
