Are you ready????

Are you ready Nov. babies? I think I am. Need to go buy a robe today and a new pair of slippers. How about you? Justine

I have a few more food items to pick up and finish getting the house cleaned. I spent this weekend scrubbing the walls and finishing the Fall Housecleaning... and I am sooo tired.. a hospital stay looks pretty refreshing at this point! LOL Jacki K from PA

Jacki, I am thinking the same thing. My house is being renovated and it's not pretty now. Dust is all over. Good luck on Friday. Justine

Wish I was ready. Nine days and counting but I got behind on a deadline for indexing my last book so have been putting in 16 hr. days on that. I positively, absolutely have to send iit off tomorrow at which time I was going to dig up my slippers, wash my raggedy old bathrobe (I'm not buying a new one at this size!) and pick up some sf jello, Any Whey, etc. I ordered my vitamins and mineral supplements from Bariatric Advantage but Discover had put a fraud alert on my card because I had put the hospital stay on it the day before so now that I have that fixed I'm going to have to order again. Meanwhile my house is a total pit. I'm going to have to start naming the dust bunnies! I have a friend coming from New York next weekend who has never been to the west before so I was planning on spending the week cleaning but now I have jury duty starting tomorrow. Arggh! At least all this should keep me from fretting too much about surgery on the 8th. Didi

Didi, I still have to work on the vitamins but I need to get that done tonight. Good luck on the 8th. Justine

I am ready in terms of protein powder, slippers and a robe, but I am not sure if I am quite ready mentally yet. My surgery is on 11/18. I am torn between wanting to eat those last few naughty things and wanting to drop a few pounds before surgery. I have my appt with my Doc. on Friday 11/4 for pre-op orders and a visit with the anesthesiologist. I so afraid that I will be up 5-8 lbs since the first time I saw my surgeon in August. I so cannot wait until this surgery is over.

My surgery is on November 18, too......and I am nervously eating away at anything I can!! Bad, I know!! I see my internist for a pre-op physical tomorrow.....and I am a bit nervous that I gained some weight since my last visit. Oh well, soon I hope to be on the losing end, and all of this yo-yo-ing will be over!! Good luck to all the other Nov. surgery patients!! I'll have you all in my thoughts and prayers!! *Kam*

Kam, How did your PCP visit go? Mine is on Friday. We should be surgery pals and keep up with each other's progess since we have the same date. R. Sperry

I'd like to be surgery pals!! And, then we can get svelte together, too!! Anyway, my apptmt went well.....but I did gain 6lbs!! Who does that???? Answer: me!! However, all of my bloodwork, xrays, and cardiograms (echo & reg) came back normal, so I am ready to go!! I wish the WLS were tomorrow, as this waiting is driving me crazy!! Of course, I still do have 101 things I want to accomplish prior to my surgery, so I guess it's good that I still have a couple weeks to go!! Good luck at your docs on Friday, and keep in touch!! *Kam*

i am the same! i have 101 things to do and am having surgery monday!! i dont think i will every get everything done. i work 3-11 fri sat and sun too. we should keep in touch and get together in a few months to see how we are making it after surgery. what hospt. are you going too? i will be in maryview. good luck with your "list". LOL *hugs* ~susanne~
