Moday is the Last Day....

Oh, Wanda! I'm getting more and more excited for you and for me!! I'm glad you are going first though!!! I get to have a little more insight into it all! I have gotten the same responses regarding the vitamins, etc. Last week I got a really nice little booklet put together by the PS Clinic. Several pages were all sorts of medications/supplements that you are NOT supposed to have prior to surgery. That was nice because it listed a full page of just aspirin products. Of course, WLS patients can't take those anyway but it really left no questions about what you shouldn't take. I just talked to my patient coordinator about a couple of things and got answers. I've never had any trouble reaching her but she isn't a nurse like the woman you've had trouble reaching. My pre-op appointment is Friday. I can't wait. I'll be able to get my blood work and prescriptions here and fax the blood work results up. Let me know if you hear anything about the compression garment. I keep seeing that website but I'm still not sure what is the best kind to order at this point. I am going to continue taking the stool softeners and get the suppositories like I read about on the PS site! I know those pain pills are going to cause problems so I'll have to be readyto fight the constipation!! Let's both hope that constipation is the WORST issue we have to deal with after PS! I'll be thinking about you the entire day and praying for a wonderful outcome and swift healing. Make sure Britt is able to update us as soon as possible! I was wondering if you guys were able to meet when she and the family were there to see Micky? That would have been nice! CeCe

I just found out that I won't come home with the compression binder on. My doc doesn't allow the binder until after the drains are removed! Now, that's different than other stories that I heard!

Wanda! How are those Valiums going YOU ARE GOING TO BE FINE I cannot wait to hear about your FLAT tummy and PERKY BOOBIES YOU are in my thoughts and prayers. I plan on calling you either durning the girls nap time or their bedtime tonight. hang in there, Britt

They just changed my surgery time to 11:00 am on Tuesday. No water, no coffee, no protein, no breakfast....ackkkk! At least I still have my valium!

Best of luck Wanda. You'll be in my thoughts and paryers on Tuesday. I can't wait to hear about your journey. Deb

Thanks, Deb! The surgery has been changed to 11 am. The doc wanted to squeeze in an eyebrow lift before he got started with me!

Good luck Wanda, can't wait to hear the good news when you return. Everything is going to go really WELL! Just believe it!

I should be home by around 5 pm. I'll try to post soon after that. According to the doc I won't feel any pain for the first ten hours. We will see about that...

Best of luck to you tomorrow Wanda... I am sure all will turn out just fine and I hope you are happy with your results... I will keep you in my prayers for a safe and successful surgery and a speedy recovery for you.... Keep us posted on how you are doing... Shawn M.

Thanks Shawn. There is a lot of power in prayers and I appreciate yours! Wanda
