date, time, and lots of butterflies....

The hospital just called me with my surgery time for Monday 3/17. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am which means we'll need to leave home by 4:15am. I am excited and nervous and anxious and fearful - all those emotions in one are making me feel like I'm full of butterflies. Can't wait until this time next week, beyond the surgery and the hospital, on the road to recovery and losing pounds! Best wishes and lots of prayers to all of you "Marchers" out there.

My doc called me on Tuesday and said I had to be there at noon for surgery at 4,,, then she called back and said no be there at 6am for surgery at 9am(which would have ment me leaving home at 3am!!) and then she called me back today to tell me to be there on the 17th at 10am and surgery at 1..Lol I said finall answer?? She laughed and said I hope so ..... !!! Good luck.. We will have all the luck of the irish with us!

How exciting! I have no butterflies yet just pure excitement! I am on March 20th and it could not get here soon enough! I too am the first surgery of the day at 7am she said to be there at 5am... I figured I wont be getting much sleep the night before anyway...so minus well be there since I will be sooooooooo awake! Good luck, I know everything will turn out great for all of us Marchers! Take care sunshine!

You will do fantastic!!! Seriously, I just got home from the hospital, I had my lap band placed yesterday! My largest piece of advice- get up and get moving as soon as you can. Seriously, it's really hard to get yourself out of bed/the chair but once your up and moving it feels a million times better. I would encourage you to get up and moving as soon as you can, even just to walk to the restroom. PLUS this will help with the water weight you gain from the surgery! Best of luck to you and the rest of us "Marchers" we'll be sporting our bikkini's in NO time!!! Jenn

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement. I am spending today getting my kids things packed up for the different places they will be staying while I'm in the hospital. I don't know how it will go saying goodbye to them....mommy has attachment issues .

I know how you feel. My surgery is on monday 3/17, I have to be to the hospital by 6 am. My oldest son is away for the weekend, so when he left yesterday, I told him that I was going out of town to handle some business, and I woulod be back on wednesday. I have 2 others, but they are both under the age of 2. I will give them a kiss when i leave on monday morning. I am now becoming very nervous. My mother is coming over in a few so that I can show her where everything is for the babies. Well, best of luck to you, you will be in my prayers.

Good Luck! Get lots of Rest and hope to hear how it went! I with you on the anxiety! I am sure you will do great!
