I am just checking in to see if there are any others that are having their surgery tomorrow? I am preparing myself by keeping busy doing the housework that I know I won't be able to do for awhile, paying all of the bills that are due in the next week or so, and playing with my son. I am waiting for my husband to get home from work, which is not going to be for about 7 more hours. I just want to sit with him and my son and enjoy their company. I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow. Wishing you well.

I am so happy that it's almost here. I can't take the suspense much longer. I can't wait to burn my bras, underware and clothes ALL OF IT and start fresh in a new and healthy body. I know much will depend on me and I am ready to make this change. I want to run and play with my girls. I want to just "PLAY" with my husband. I AM READY!!!!!!! Yeepeeeeee.

Do you have an estimate as to when they can reschedule? why the change?

HI Michael, My name is Brenda and I live in a litle town north west of Orlando. I had the WLS on Wed July 9th. I was 3rd on the list for the day and I was very anxious and scared. Like you said the great unknown is a very major factor to be confronted with. I had the surgery and did just fine. I had problems with my blood pressure being elevated after the surgery. They gave me iv drugs to lower it and when I was given pain meds that also helped to lower the dread bp. I walked just as I was told to and it was difficult at first since I was so sore. My doc came in around 6:15 pm on the first pre-op day, and said I could go home or stay till the morning. I told him I would be more comfortable at home so that is where I went. I still had 24 hours of elevated bp's and took my pain med quite regular. Today is Mon and I feel so much better. I can eat my liquids without a problem and walk without too much discomfort. I have slept the last 2 nights all the way through and to me that is amazing. I know that it is part of our nature to be frightened of what we have yet to expierence, but I know from mine that this is not as scary as I thought it was. And, yes I would do it again. I have allready lost 18 pounds. I wish you all the best, and will add you to my prayer list, as I truely believe that prayer changes things....Brenda from Apopka, FL
