Sorry I have not posted lately.  My surgery was 2 weeks ago today.  I am doing so well I have returned to work,  Yuk!!.  I want to thank every one who sent me well wishes and prayed for my fast recovery.  Thank you. 

At my post op appointment I had only  lost 14 pounds.  Boy, was I bummed.  I know weight loss is individualized but it seem like everyone elses loses so much more.  I guess I have to be patient.  It took me a long time to gain it.  I will post my pictures soon.

The liquid diet starts tomorrow.  Prep starts Sunday.  I have to be at the hospital at 4:30 am on Monday Yuk!!  Thanks to everyone that emailed wishing me good luck on my surgery. 

How is it post surgical?  I just learned that I will be all on my own after I get out the hospital during the day.  I was hoping to have someone stay with me during the day for at least a couple of days.  Will I really need help?  I hope not. 

3 more days to go Yea!!

I have been visiting this web site almost daily since this journey has begun for me.  I have gained so much insight and information from all your posts and questions.  I have also been very encouraged from all the before and after pictures. Thank you. 

Although my journey began over a year ago with my first visit to my surgeon, this is my first post.  Why, because I am now scared as hell!  I worked so hard on all the prerequisites for surgery and all I wanted was to be approved and get a date for surgery.  Well, now I have one and I want to turn and retreat. 

I kept calling and bugging my surgeon's office for approval and a date.  When the email came and the subject line said "surgery Date"  I wanted to holler for my Momma. 

I am excited and scare alll at the same time.  Please just pray for me and my surgeon.  I have been waiting a year to say this-- See ya on the loosing side!!!!
