Back from Pre-op
Hi everyone! 
I have been out of town for two days for my education and pre-op. Everything went great and the Surgeon and his nurse and the hospital staff are wonderful. He said he wanted me to lose 20 pounds before surgery ( just lost 34 pounds on weigh****chers) I reminded him my date is only 1 1/2 weeks away, he said to eat tuna and drink water. That man is crazy 
but I am doing it. I asked my husband and daughter to do it with me and I cant believe it but they are going to 
.
I am still really scared about the surgery and how quick it is coming up - I told them I am afraid they wont believe me that I am in pain. I have a real low pain tolerance and I already take alot of Loritab for my neck everyday and am afraid the medicine wont work. He assured me they aren't "stingy" on the narcotics and said I wouldn't be pain free but it would be tolerable. My mom is coming from California to help me for two weeks She is the best mommy in the whole world 
.
Well, I guess I have rambled enough. One more week - I just cant believe it is coming so fast - my tummy is doing flip flops as I type this. Thank you everyone for being here and posting here - it is really encouraging and helpful.
Hugs,
Carie

Good luck with losing the weight - seems kinda rash! 
I guess now would be a good time to get used to those protein drinks! Most Active
