17 Sep 06 - My lap gastric bypass surgery is scheduled for Oct 20th at 9:00 am. I am so excited... that is only a little over a month away! I got my packet in the mail yesterday of all my instructions for the surgery and there sure are lots of things to do between now and then!!

22 Sep 06 - Counting by Friday's, four Friday's from now I will be going into surgery at exactly this time. I have not been scared until now and I am going into an anxious stage. I am stocking up on my sugar-free jello, etc. I already drink a lot of Crystal Light, so I am planning on putting my unflavored protein powder in it after my surgery. Next week I go to the Cardiologist and the hospital for pre-ops, the following week I got the Pulminary doctor and then go to the Vascular surgeon..... then 20 Oct 06 is my big day!!!

2 Oct 06 - I had the first part of my stress test today at the Cardiologist office and tomorrow will have the exercise part with the dye in my veins. In three days I go to the pulminary doctor and next week is the Vascular Surgeon..... it will only be a little over two weeks now until my lap gastric bypass. I danced the chicken dance at my niece's wedding two nights ago and fell out on the dance floor, the groom helped me up and then I immediately lost my balance and fell again!! The tops of my legs are so sore from trying to pull all this weight up off the dance floor.... how embarrassing. Hopefully, this time next year I won't be falling around on the floor so much from the weight!!
6 Oct 06 - Two weeks from tonight I will be in the hospital and have had my surgery that day!! I feel I am mentally prepared.... but we will just see how I am feeling about a day or two before! LOL!!
8 Oct 06 - I picked up the Magnisium Citrate from the pharmacy today to drink the night before my surgery. My Mom said it will make me feel awful.

26 Oct 06 - I had my lap gastric bypass on Friday, 20 Oct 06, what a great experience! After staying four days in the hospital, I came home on Monday, 23 Oct 06. I am doing fine and just have slight pain. The visiting home nurse took my drain tube out of my side, today.... it feels much better now. I can tell I have already lost some weight!! YAY~~~
17 Nov 06 - Well, I am still doing great!! I went back to work two weeks ago and not feeling a bit tired! In three days it will have been a month since my surgery! I have lost 35 lbs so far, which is a miracle! This is a life that I can deal with ....... so far it has been remarkably easy!! I would never have dreamed it would have all gone so smoothly. God is Great!!
