    I hope all goes well during your surgery. I too have had roadblocks 1 after another. In fact, yesterday I got a call to reschedule my surgery by like a month! It's frustrating because I had just started my countdown 3 days to pre-op and 27 days til surgery day- I was sooo excited!! But, all in good time right... My surgery is now set for Aug.22nd,2012 if nothing else happens. It's been a long,hard road and this is only the 1st leg of this marathon!

Surgery June 26, 2012
on July 6, 2012 8:45 pm
Okay now that its been over a week from my surgery and I'm feeling so great that I can sit in the computer room and type a blog I am going to! I had my surgery on June 26th at 7:30 am. After arriving at the hospital they start my IV and then about an hour prior to surgery they rolled me downstairs into the pre op room where they did a lil more prepping and yes they even checked to see if I had "shaved" down there good enough LOL but thank goodness this time it was a lady looking and not a male nurse like last time. So as the nurse was looking to make sure I shaved good enough she says oh wow you have a rash on your legs, mind you I had already known this but it wasnt to be and she proceeds to tell me "Well we may have to cancel your surgery" I almost went crazy but instead i said okay well let me speak with my surgeon, I had already wanted to speak with him because a nurse that came in to speak with me that is in the OR told me that they were going to put in a catheter this time around and my response to him was no your not, he said we'll see! ANYWAYS, my surgeon came in and I told him they said they were going to cancel my surgery because of the rash and he was like oh no we will just put some anti itch cream and you'll be just fine and then i asked about the catheter and he was like umm no we didnt do one this time and we arent this time! THANK GOODNESS!!! So next comes in my anestisologist, and man o man can I just say he was CUTE! I explained to him that in my last surgery (march 13) when i woke up in the recovery room I had a hard time breathing and was extremely naseaous so he said he would adjust the medicine and we'll hope that it works out better and let me tell you it totally did when I woke up from surgery I was feeling just fine, I got up to my room and laid in my bed for a while and id say not even an hour later I was up doing laps around the floor I was on. I was sooo blessed that I had many many visitors that night so I just kept making them do laps with me :) till finally I wore myself out and my nurse had to tell me to go get back in bed that I had done plenty of working for the night and at that time I needed pain meds! Throughout the night I only needed pain meds one more time and that was just because I was in pain in my back and I think that was from being in the best and on the operating table tooo long. I went home the next day around 8pm and boy was I so happy to go home. A few days following surgery I would wake up feeling sick to my stomach and I think that was just simply because of all the medicine that they give you to knock you out, I am proud to say taht I am getting in ALL my fluids and ALL my protein everyday and am feeling almost back to my normal self!!! To date I have lost 14lns and thats just in a weeks time. I am so happy that I have taken this step in my life and I cannot wait to what the future holds :) I also must add that I have the BEST parents, husband, and family also inlaws they ALL have been extremely supportive, I feel blessed!!!

Lab Work & Freakin Emotions
on June 24, 2012 4:55 pm

Ok! So on Friday June 22nd, 2012 I went in to get all of my pre op blood work done, when I get into the lab the lady calls me back to the room and I immediately tell her that my veins roll and asked if she was used to veins rolling and if not if she could please pass me off to someone that was used to it, she reassured me that she could do it well once she stuck me with the needle ofcourse my vein rolled and she was like okay honey im going to poke a little more and so she did ofcourse hurt like hell but I was thinking in the back of my head I pray that she just gets it will she did but my blood would go and then stop, most likely because it hurt like hell!!! She then proceeds to go to my other arm to see if she can get blood from it and ofcourse my veins are rolling so she says "I'm sorry I'll have to pass you to someone else and thank goodness she did because the minute I got with the other lady she got it instantly thank goodness for good nurses!!!

 

On another note I have been very emotional since I had my blood drawn probably because it is all hitting home that I am truely going to have my surgery on June 26th and there shouldnt be anymore roadblocks this time. I think I'm emotional because I am so excited to begin this new journey as I have all my family and friends who are supporting me in this yet at the same time I'm nervous and scared because I dont know what to expect I have been reading and writing in tons of websites such as OH, my facebook groups and just doing research on my own so I feel ready but I just dont know if you are ever ready enough to dump all the old habits and make sure that you succeed at the new ones! I got this and I will make sure that I work my tool!

Surgery Didnt actually work out as planned on...
on June 24, 2012 4:49 pm
SO I know that it has taken me forever to actually update my blogs here but when I went in for surgery on 3/13/12 my gallbladder ended up rupturing on the table so my surgeon had to make sure that all the fluids from that were cleaned out of my stomach in which it actually took him nearly 2 1/2 hours to make sure that was all cleaned up and good, I have to say that my surgeon is an awesome one and did what was best for me, he said that he didnt want to keep me under any longer and that is why I will be having my RNY surgery on 6/26/12. At first when I was in the recovery room and he told me that he wasnt able to do my RNY surgery I was devestated and didnt truely know what to think even when I went home for a few days I would say I was a bit upset and even a little depressed because I had waited so long to get the surgery and BAM something prevented me from getting it. I even was having thought such as "maybe this is someones way of telling me that I shouldnt get the surgery" other crazy thoughts also crossed my mind! After about a week or so I started coming to the conclusion that it was just a roadblock and it is now out of the way, noone is telling me that I shouldnt get it because it is up to ME to change my life and I was going to proceed and have the RNY surgery so my surgery is now scheduled for 6/26/12 @ 7:30 am :)
