Hi. My husband is scheduled to be out of town on Sept 15th, which is the day I am scheduled to have my surgery. I would have to wait another month to have my surgery if I postponed it because I can only have my surgery at one specific facility for my insurance to pay for it (and the drs only do surgery there once a month).

I really don't want to postpone my surgery. I have decided not to tell any other family and friends about the surgery so if my husband isn't available I don't have a ride from the hospital. I would like to see if anyone else in the DFW Texas area would like to link up and be each others surgery buddy. I could be your support person on the day of surgery also if you have not had the surgery already.

Anyone wanting to help...let me know!!

Thanks!

I wish I could help but I can't since I work full time - but make sure to ask around in the September band group also. But do you have any friends that you would trust to tell? How long will your husband be out of town? You will need someone for more than just taking you home because that part you most likely will feel the best until several days out. You need someone to fill your prescriptions, to help you stand and sit sometimes, and even to lay down if you want to sleep. I know waiting another month is long, but this will be for the rest of your life and I wouldn't want something to happen to you because you didn't have someone at home with you. I would seriously think about those things before deciding to have surgery with your husband out of town.

enigma ~ thanks for your concerns. My hubby will only be out of town for the day. My kids will be at my parents so I won't have to worry about them. My doctor gives all my prescriptions to me before the surgery so I plan on having them all filled before I go into surgery. So just getting home is my main concern. I plan on being in bed all day that day after surgery but I'm hoping that what I go through will not be anything compared to the 3 C-Sections I had to recover from. But I was up the next day after having them...walking slow but up! LOL

I posted the same thread on the September bandster site...so we will see.

Looks like you are doing good on your WL quest!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!
