730 is a good time to have surgery. I am glad I could help you.

I was hoping to post from my hospital room but Verizon Wireless net access sucks.

I can honestly say that all my fears were taken away when I saw my surgeon i the pre-op area.
I don't know how to describe the atosphere there. It was just so relaxed.

I was like this is going to be better than I thought. don't know if I had a realization of some sort. can't describe it.

Welcome back! I'd hoped that I'd get to say "congrats" before I left for my own surgery! Your support over the past 10 days has been amazingly helpful and is appreciatd more than any words can say!!

My surgery time was set for 7:30 am on Monday. I'm the first of the day! So... I reckon I'll be joining you on that bench soon. Save some room, would ya??

Topic: RE: Any December Lap Banders

Congrats! My LapBand is scheduled for Tuesday Dec 23rd. I'm starting to get a little nervous, but I try not to think about it. It's hard not to think about it each time I drink one of those yummy protein drinks. This is a first for me. Not only is it the first day of a new life, but it is the first time I have ever been in the hospital for anything other than a routin office visit. So I'm a little nervous about that, but I'm ready to get it on and over with and make a fresh new start.

You sound like an amazing person, with the foster kids and step-parents and.. just... everything! My husband is most worried about something happening while I'm in surgery. Then, he's worried that I'm "going to get skinny and leave him". I told him he's stuck with me forever!! And ever!! lol

I am sad about Christmas. My kids and I will be with my folks so my husband can continue to work. (That mortgage still has to get paid and all) I'm sure my kids will remember nothing but I know that I won't really be quite myself on Christmas Day. I'm planning to have NO complications so that I can be released on Christmas Eve as planned. We all know this is for the best!

I had actually learned of the swollen pouch through my doctor's office. They have put together a really complete set of "manuals". One Pre-surgery and one Post-surgery. They've included recipes, what to expect.. pretty much everything. I went to buy the Phopho Soda bowel prep today only to discover that Fleets has voluntarily recalled it due to some FDA report this week. I called the Doc's office and had him paged because I didn't know what to do! He didn't even know about the report! (Not my doctor.. this was who was on call) So.. now I've got some other concoction that I've taken before and found really disgusting! So.. fun times with that! lol

In any case.. I also find I'm rambling now. (I'm sure you didn't even notice!) I'll pray for you and your whole family for a GREAT Christmas for everyone! I know that God is watching over all of us and will keep us all safe. We can charter these new waters together!
