Iron Treatment #2

So today was IV #2. Again, I felt sleepy afterwards. Other than that, it was a cake walk. The darn IV drip kept stopping until I figured out that it was because I was EVERSOSLIGHTLY moving my arm and pinching the needle. It took about 1 1/2 hrs today. Tomorrow is my Pre-Op with Dr. Coates, and I have to tell you, I am a bit nervous. The reason is because I feel bloated and because of all the darn iron, constipated (I know, no one wants to hear that). And I have heard the horror stories of people's surgery getting cancelled even over just a 1 lb gain. I don't know if I will have dropped any more weight even though I've been doing the Pre-Op diet.  So, I guess we'll see. Anyway, that is it for now. Goodnight out there.

Stop worrying! Stop it right now!

I will be waiting for your post tomorrow when you get home from Dr. Coates office telling us that it is a big ole green light for the 29th!

I'm sure it will be fine!  I can't wait for your day to actually get here!  I think I'm more excited than you are!  Than again, I'm sure I'm not!

Hey Aprill wanted to wish you the best of luck tomorrow with your pre op.. if it makes you feel any better I felt the same as you right before my pre op and I had gained 7 lbs.. yet he still went on with the surgery.. I will keep you in my prayers all day ok.. Let us all know.  (((HUGS)))

April:  I bet everything will go just fine.  I was nervous before mt pre-op too.  I was just sure he'd find something.  I'm sure you're thinking he'll find 'something else'. Here's to a smooth visit w/Coates tomorrow.   I am toasting you w/my caffeine free iced tea w/a shot of sugar free rasberry syrup. (ahhhh. I do miss a cold, frosty beverage. but then again I like being 75 lbs. lighter & much more healthy better. it's all relative.) Can't wait to hear you got the go ahead!  Lisa
