I still have a onQ pump going into my incisions to numb the area, it comes out tomorrow. Still have pain when getting up and down. Feel like I have been beat up. Feels like sore muscles in my upper abdomen and arms. At this point I am not second guessing myself but just know that I made the right decision. I had to have insulin while in the hospital was just diagnosed as diabetic during this process. During my hospital stay blood pressure up. Doctor questioned me if that had been a problem previously "No it hasnt"
My reasons for doing this diabetes, fatty liver, sore joints daily, plantar fasciatis, family history of all these plus heart and blood pressure...I really thought long and hard about this surgery over the last year and I would never have had it done just for weight loss, to me the weight loss is a bonus..My reasons all surround my over all health. My husband and I had many discussions about the surgery and how much better I would feel. I just pray this reigns in my current problems and stops future ones.

Well I finished my pre-op class today. 5 1/2 hrs long, but full of lots of good information. Saw surgeon for last time before surgery. I am so glad I chose him. Very kind and patient. Now its the waiting game. 10 days and counting down.

Just got the call my surgery date is being moved up by 1 week to June 3...I can't decide if I'm overly excited or just so nervous that the countdown just dwindled to 2 weeks...

Well I got the call today my surgery is scheduled for June 9 at 7:30am. I cant even begin to describe all the emotions that go along with this. Second guessing your decision, wondering about complications, how long off work and so forth. I am trying to keep my eye on the end result.

The call came yesterday 3/24/10 that my surgery has been approved by insurance...the girl on the phone was as excited as I am...she couldnt hardly believe it...now its waiting for the phone call to schedule pre-op classes and testing..a part of me still can't believe this is going to happen...
