Now a friend of mine said that she was going to go with me, however she just told me today that she will have to go to work for a training session. My cousin said that she would go but she has to take her mother to the airport @ 1:30pm and im not sure what time I will be released since it is out patient. So I will be going alone, I know my mother & my brother will be there with me in spirit, but is anyone else being banded alone?

I will be alone :)...

I have done most of the steps alone. I pulled one of my friends arms to go meet the surgeon with me. But for the most part ... it's been allllllll alone! So I will drive myself to the hospital and hitch hike home I guess... LOL! Uh yeah NO home is an hour away :wink2:!

Someone will probably pull through at the last minute!

No hospital with an ounce of ethical responsibility will let you leave without an escort. I even had to sign something saying I would not use public transportation for 24 hours following surgery. This is major surgery, laproscopic or not and you will be under general anesthesia. So no, you will not be able to go it alone. Sorry!!:wink2:

I have a husband, but I am one of those people that when I am under the weather I want everyone to leave me the hell alone. So hubby can drop me off and pick me up, but I want him outta my hair while I'm in the hospital overnight. Maybe I can send him to you??:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

It will be fine. I went to Mexico alone, flew home 4 hours and drove back from the airport 2 hours the next day. The day after that I went back to work doing massage. It was a cinch and I'm 58 years old so you won't have any problems. Gotta love yourself enough to hold your own hand.

Good vibes are being sent your way from all of us.

Blessings,

Sally

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
