Topic: Surgery in 11.5 hours...

Well today is the day.. yes I am a little scared and nervous and of course seond guessing myself... (example... I could lose this weight on my own). My DH thinks this is the best thing for me and reminds me that I did a lot of research..and that I will be alright. I'm hoping I'm not the only person to second guess my decision. Take care July Surgery group.. update when I can.

Topic: RE: Things to bring to the hospital

Thanks guys for reminding me of some of the stuff to pack! My surgery date is tomorrow and I didn't think about packing my robe or the Gas X...soon after I read what you guys took I went and got my robe and the Gas X and my lotion, caramex. Tomorrow before leaving I'll put in my toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant!

Hello I am looking for people who live in the Warren and Center Line area who are preparing for weight loss surgery or had the surgery. Possibly you are having it at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital on E. 10 Mile in Center Line or you had it there. I am preparing for surgery and even though I don't have my exact date as of yet I would like to keep in touch with others that are like me or was like me. Serious replies only please, maybe this summer we could form a walking group and just support each other through our journey of getting healthy.

Please contact me via email, if you are seriously interested in forming this group.

Thanks!

Topic: RE: What are your WLS worries or fears?

I've never had major surgery in my life! I think it's the pain as well for me too! Also, that I don't want to mess up as far as what I eat or drink....even though I read about the stages and know what I can and can not have I still don't want to do anything to cause dumping or something worse.

Topic: Surgery Tomorrow!

I'm scared, nervous and need support!http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/frown.gif

For those of you who had surgery already, how long were you in the hospital? And, how long was it after coming home were you able to do things (go out, walk, etc.)

Topic: RE: Citrate of Magnesium - Bowel Prep

A little late for me to put it in the fridge since hubbie bought it Friday and I took half a bottle yesterday but nothing happened till this morning and it wasn't enough to be cleanse. Now I have to take the other bottle, this time the whole thing, but I will put it in a cup of ice and drink it with a straw.
