16 Hours Away!

Hello! 16 hours away! I have to be at Fairview University at 9:00 a.m. My son arrived home last night -- his plane finally came in at 6:30 p.m. - about 2-1/2 hours late. Some of it had to do with the big snow storm. I made it through bowel prep -- today is clear liquids, taking the 3 doses of Flagyl and 3 showers with Techni-Care starting at 6 p.m., 10 p.m. and then in the morning. I met with my therapist this afternoon - that was helpful. I feel somewhat anxious today, I'm sure that will get a little worse by tomorrow morning! I'm so thankful for all the good wishes and prayers on my behalf. My BMI is now 49 due to my pre-op weight loss That is down from my beginning BMI of about 52-56, depending on the beginning weight # that is used. I think I've lost 5 pounds just in the last 2 days from bowel prep and liquids ! Well -- lots yet to get done -- better sign off for now -- I'll try to write again before I leave for the hospital! Wish me luck! Patti Highest weight - 352 Weight @1st meeting with Dr. Ikrammudin - 338 Pre-op weight - 313

Good luck, Patti! By this time tomorrow, you'll be walking the halls, using your incentive spirometer and enjoying the really good drugs. I'll be thinking about you

Hello Rebecca Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement! That's what I need to be reminded to Walk, walk, walk -- and use that spirometer! And-I'm hoping I will have really great drugs so that moving will be a bit more tolerable! Thanks again and all the best to you, too! Patti
