thx. It was a challenge, but now I'm ready to start my journey

Hi Amee!

I'm getting an open RNY done here in Buffalo at 8:15AM. Our hospital is about 20-25 mins from our apartment, as it's downtown, and we live in a suburb. I'll be in for 3 days, too, but hope I can go home Friday evening because my husband doesn't have Saturday off nor can he get it off as he already is taking Friday off (his weekends this shift is Weds/Thurs). I do have a BFF babysitting my son on Saturday when hubby's at work if I do in fact have to stay 3 full days. One prob is my dad said he can pick me up but he has a huge GMC Sierra truck and they say no trucks (too high) or sportscars (too low). So he will have to maybe borrow a friend of his' truck or something. But that's a minor problem really. Had my car been on the road (PT Cruiser) he could of used it. But I took it off the road as insurance got to be too expensive for our 1 income family who has 2 cars. So it's in storage at my Dad's without plates, wrapped up for the winter.

I will be writing a list of things to get done in the next few days and things to bring with during the hospital stay. I am bringing my laptop and webcam and will be updating fb and twitter and my youtube channel... :)


Have a great weekend! Our last weekend as pre-oppers!

My name is Amee.  I live in upstate NY.  It is very fortunate for me that the hospital where I'm having my surgery done is only 5 minutes from my apt.  I've stayed on track, but I am craving something actually solid.  Last night it was soooo cold here that I had a warm bowl of broth and seasoned it, with a crap load of pepper....lol  only a few more days to go right?!?!?!  Which proceedure are you having?  I'm doing RNY.  I'll have atleast a 3 day stay in the hospital, so just in time to be out to see kids trick or treating, and take my little guy around.  I know how in different I'll feel towards the treats.  Bright side...we'll be able to taste Turkey at Thanksgiving!

What things are you doing to keep yourself busy in these final days?  My boyfriend and I are going to do some cleaning, and I have birthday cards/decorations to make for my little boy and start making the RSVP cards for my friend's wedding invites.

Hi all!

4 days left! Lost 14 lbs so far on the pre-op diet :)

Can't believe my surgery is soon!!!

I hope your blood work shows better results.  If you've finished the antibiotics I dont see why it wouldn't be down.    Call and talk to the person who takes care of the insurance end of things in the office where you are seen and see if they can pull any strings for you....if its the right person they can work the insurance issue out for you.

good luck!

hope all goes well!!!
