Hi i am Kim, I had the surgery on March 21st 2003, weighing in at 341.8 and now i am 233.0! do it girl! It will be the best thing you've ever done!

I was driving 10 days after surgery with no problems.

My date is June 18 as well. My nerves didn't hit me til today. I have been 100% fine, my husband has been the nervous one, but today after I talked to the nurse about my final approval from the ins. I'm starting to get nervous. I think it's the reality of it. I'm also planning on cleaning my house. I think that will realize some tention. and spend plenty of time with my family.

6-10-03 I had my pre op visit yesterday. I am now on Carnation Instant Breakfast (No sugar) for 5 times a day for the next 2 weeks until surgury. I hope it gets better. All I can think about is food right now. Dr. Foote uses this instead of more expensive protein drinks. I'm glad, because they cut $560 off of my bill because I don't need any protein product. I found out that my surgury is considered proximal. This means that they don't bypass as much of my intestine. I think this is probably a good thing. My family is worried that I will be malnourished after surgury. They told me yesterday that I will take prenatal vitiamins after my stomach is healed. Now I am taking Flintstones chewable vitamins. They aren't so bad. I had heard that they taste bad, but have not found that to be true. The PA also said that I don't need to worry about whether they are sugar free or not since they don't have that much sugar in them. I am going to go to my water aerobics class this afternoon. I worry that my blood sugar will drop low since I am not eating anything except the CIB shakes now. I guess I will find out. I have been wondering how soon I will be able to drive my car after laprascopic surgury. If anyone knows, please let me know.
