Tomorrow is the Big Day!!!
Jul 24, 2007
Well, I have to admit I'm a bit nervous. It seems so surreal, when you 'elect' to have surgery. I feel great though.....I have lost 16 lbs pre-op so I am well-prepared for my journey. Thank you to all who support me, although I haven't made too many friends yet.
I will post some befores shortly and also pics of my tum tum post op. 'til then.....Hasta la Vista, baby!
My first appointment was today!

Today I met my doctor. My mom met with the same office, but my doctor's partner for her surgery a month ago. I am private pay so we're moving along while she awaits her approval thru insurance.
Everything went well. They did pre-op blood work and an EKG on me. I was surprised to find I was borderline on the EKG, which means that I have high heart risk most likely due to my weight. Hopefully the anesthesiologist will go forth with my surgery based on his determination from the test.
MY SURGERY IS SET FOR 7/25!!!!! Yay....I will be a bandster.
I will be starting on the Atkins tomorrow to shrink my liver for surgery. I am a little scared, but WAY MORE excited! More to follow.....
