Good Luck April Peeps Let us know how you are doing!

April 1st is only a day and a half away. I imagine we are having tons of emotions and even some anxiety and fear but if you are like me you are EXCITED most of all.

A lot of pre-op diets are going one. Last minute preparations. Are you like packing and unpacking?

Have you stocked up on post-op meals?

What are you going to do while you recover?

Please, please let us know how you are doing. It will be exciting to keep in touch and share.

We can have a 1 year anniversary get together too.

Diana

Just a quick post Diana, I know you must be very excited.  The 12th is really drawing closer.
Do you want any visitors?

Janet I would love to see you! I had my pre-op tests today and my 2 1/2 hours with the bariatric nurse. Wouldn't you know it but I missed the bottom step going to the basement and I pulled a muscle and sprained my ankle. It take me forever when I get up to be able to stand on it. By Monday it felt better and then I did too much and it was awful going from place to place to get the tests. I should have asked for a wheelchair but I just hobbled around.

I will have my phone so I can send you a text after surgery.

Are you getting excited? The time seemed to drag and then when 3 week**** time started flying.

Diana

I ddon't get text on my phone Diana, just ring and leave me a brief message.  I willl wait until the next day to come and see you.  I am so excited for you.  I  havve been eating like a pig and all the wrrng things. I have tto st op this. 
Ho[e your ankle gets better quick.
Sycamore hospital called today and did my pre-surgery registration for my EGD and my surgery.
Are you going to the support meeting on the 9th?

It's beginning to really set in, and I'm excited and nervous... apprehensive and impatient! LOL In other words... there's a whole gamut of emotions in this house!

I've made my list for packing, but won't start the actual packing until next week (my surgery is on the 12th). Since I have to stay at a hotel near the doctor for another week (I'm 2 long freeway hours away from him) I have to pack for the hospital and the hotel (and for my husband who will stay with me for at least 3 days of the week that I'll be in the hotel).

I do plan on reading a lot, relaxing a lot and walking, well... maybe not a LOT, but walking as much as I can until a few weeks out.

Oh, and the other thing I've got to figure out how to do... is how to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary 3 days after surgery! Anyone got any suggestions? :-D

Good luck to everyone! :)

I am so soo ready. I am at 29 and counting. Good luck everyone.

I'm scheduled for April 26th.  Just 26 short days away.  I've made my shopping list and am starting to slowing stock up on items I will need.   I know this next month will be filled with alot of emotions but I have a wonderful husband who is being very patient, kind and helpful.  I'm so glad to have this group!
