thanks guys ...

i go in tomorrow morning at 6. not sure how long checking in (even though i did it on the web, im sure they will want to verify) and the drawing will take.

DD is bringing his camera to take as many pics as he can (both before and after surgery) i asked Dr. P if he would take pics and he didnt seem too enthused. i dont want to push it and really who wants to see my belly lying on a table ? ick.

we're picking my dad up from the airport this afternoon and then dinner and i think i'll take a valium tonight. last night was not a good night sleepwise again. holy crap nerves are really setting in. hopefully they will give me something when i check in tomorrow. i cant even imagine walking into the OR. at least with the band my IV was already started and i was wheeled in. i think here i get to walk in ... yikes!!!

OMG, I'm nervous for you. Just sitting here thinking about what that must feel like, my hands started shaking. You must be a bundle of nerves.

I'll be praying for you, and for your surgeon that he has quick, skilled hands, and that there will be no complications, and for a speedy UNEVENTFUL recovery!

Hey girl, tomorrow will soon be here and just take deep breaths.. you are a strong woman and I know you will get through this with flying colors! I know you are nervous, but just think, when you wake up, it will be over and then the recovery will begin and I'm sure you'll get plenty of pain meds to help you out. This is something you've been wanting for a while now, and now it's finally happening!! I'm so happy for you darling! remember, deep breaths and you'll get through this!! HUGGS

I have been away from LBT for a while, busy and such, and just read about your next journey tomorrow. What an inspiration you are (and have been with couch to 5k etc). I am so very excited for you, and will be saying prayers for you as well. It will be over before you know it, and soon the new you will be up and about! How cool is that?!!

Please keep us posted, we care!!

OMG... my ticker says 0 days SINCE my TT... I kinda wanted to see 0 days until, but thats ok...

3am and I've been awake for about half an hour... need to get up at 415 to shower and such, but I'm pretty much wide awake.

sooooo excited, hope DrP is getting a better sleep than I am... :rolleyes2:

I will post the new thread from my DH's iPhone when he decides to wake up.... (sleeping is not easy when you have a 4 yr old DEEP breathing and DH's occasional snore in the same room, but I wouldnt trade them for the world)...

ok... back to bed to rest...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
