Band out in a few hours

Sep 28, 2010

I can't sleep. I got home from work at around 1:30am and it's now 4:12am. I laid down with the kids but I got up, put on a little makeup and now I'm just waiting until 5:00 when my mom will be here to pick up me and Sarah. Isabel and Sofia will be going to school with their dad like usual but I won't be here to help Sofia get ready. I'm nervous. It's strange but I'm glad the band is coming out. I just need to remember this time before the next procedure is for healing the damage that the band has done. I feel a little nervous this morning too because this time around I don't have the added benefit of promised weight loss to look forward to when I wake up. Just wake up and, well, nothing. Go home and heal. I will be happy to be able to take pills again and to BURP!  hahaha. I have so much gas going out the other way I will be so happy to be able to burp again. That hasn't happened in 4 years.  I need to maintain my weight until January though. The state health plan in SC in offering 100 free gastric bypasses on a first come first served basis to those who work for the state and have a bmi of 40 or above. I don't want to gain a lot of weight but I just need to hold steady at 255. If I don't get the free surgery I will pack up and head to Mexico to see Dr. Alvarez and have the sleeve. I will have to finance that one so I will do whatever it takes and pray that I am one who gets the surgery paid here in Charleston. God, please let this surgery go smoothly this morning. I know general anesthesia will be hard on me but I just want to be back home already. I guess I will go now. I still have about 40 minutes and I need to just calm myself down. See ya on the other side...band-less.
