Surgery Tomorrow!

Well, I made it through the pre-op diet without eating my own arm! But man am I starving!!! I fly out at noon tomorrow, and will have surgery sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening. I am so ready to get this done. As far as my family knows, my hubby has treated me to a week at the spa in San Diego. Things have been really difficult with my parents, who may be divorcing after 42 years, so they don't need any extra stress. I am still a little nervous about going by myself, but again, keep telling myself "I am doing this FOR myself BY myself". So, ready or not, here I go!

Good luck and have a safe flight. 

Good luck!

Good luck tomorrow. We are all behind you. This is your time to look after YOU.

Good luck on your surgery, Mine is a week away, and I am super excited.  all of the work I have put in so far are going to be totally worth it, i'm sure it will be the same for you.

Best of luck, have a safe flight! Keep us posted :-) xo

Congrats !!  You  Can Do This !!  Stay strong and we are thinking of you ...

I understand about not telling people , cuz' I haven't told people either. I tell people I am having my hernia taken care of  (through surgery) and then for my New Years wish ( like every year, haha) , I am going on a diet to become more healthy... I don't like hearing the comments " Oh thats cheating" or "its the easy way out" or "people only lose weight cuz' they had surgery" .. They are skinny people who don't understand what us Fluffy Fat people have gone through all through life...  7 more days for my surgery, I will be taking this weight loss journey with you ! Best of Luck , YOU CAN DO IT !

good luck!

telling other people about your ds is totally your choice. i found it best just to keep to myself. i told my immediate family and i strictly told them that they are not allowed to share with anyone else! they have kept their word and i am so glad they did. i have had people come up to me and bad mouth bariatric pt's and in my mind i want to scream at them. we do not have it easy by any means, we have to work so hard in all area's of our lives to keep us healthy more so than a normal person. it really ****** me off lol i do reach out to people who are heavier and let them know about the ds but other than that i keep that secret close to myself. totally your decision and keep us updated!

Good luck!  I know everything will be great!  I'm praying for you today!
