Topic: Pergatory...
My surgery is next Monday, April 26th. I am obsessed. I can't concentrate on anything. I don't want to do anything, clean my house, feed my family (because I'm on liquid it's torture at times), watch tv nothing. I just sit on the computer at OH or googling wls and ignore my life! I am perseverating about my surgery getting cancelled because I don't lose enough (need to lose at least 7 lbs (I think)) to be below my last weigh in at the dr.s which I know is totally doablw. I also woke up with a sore throat so I'm convinced it will become the plague and that will cancel my surgery. Ugh. I'm doing the liquid diet and exercising and not cheating. I am so glad I have to work T,W,Th so I'll be forced to think about something else. It's driving me nuts. Am I the only one? Or is this normal? It doesn't help that the kids are off for April vacation.
So there it is, anyone here in pergatory with me?

Topic: RE: 8 days until surgery! I'm slightly freaking out!
My surgery is the 26th too and I am getting all wound up about everything! I'm worried I won't lose enough on my liquid diet (need to lose at least 7lbs to be below my last weigh in). Woke up with a sore throat that I'm praying doesn't turn into anything major. Just stressing in general, sounds like that's normal.

I am 9 days away from having lapband surgery and can tell you that you wont find a better place for support than right here! I have made so many friend, got great advise and always find an answer on the OH website. I said I wasn't going to get nervous or scared but I think I will the day of surgery but I also think it is normal. I will be praying for you and a good experience and quick recovery! See you on the other side!

Topic: RE: Ok maybe stupid repeated question
If you click on "my account" up in the top right hand corner and then click on the health tracker tab on your settings page, you will see a link that says "go to health tracker"
Click on that, then click the "tickers and widgets" tab and you will see the button to create a tracker!
Hope that helps-

Topic: RE: RNY question for those that had one!
Hi Chrissy,
I had surgery the same day as you did. Had laproscopic RNY in Mexico. (I live in FL)
This is my 3rd Laproscopic surgery (including failed lapband 2006) and I have NEVER had such an issue with any of the incisions. It doesn't sound good to me and I wouldn't wait until Tuesday for an appt, why didn't your GP see you? If you aren't feeling well go to the emergency room changing the dressing every hour is NOT good...
I am not able to go back to my surgeon (him being In Mexico - so far away), however I had an appt with my primary care physician on Friday. I gave him copies of my surgery report. He checked my incisions said they were healing great.
Please keep me posted and blessings!
