Hi Julie!

Good luck on the 4th!

Yes, you did very good on the pre-op diet now once the surgery is complete watch how easy it comes off! IT IS TRULY AMAZING 

The days before surgery were so crazy!  I was so scared I don't even remember the name of the movie I took my daughter to see that weekend & that is really not like me.  I was a total mess!!  But then- just like that I woke up on the other side of the bench- and it's been GREAT.  I have not regretted it for one second, I have never thought "what did I do" and have never looked back.  The first couple of weeks were a little bumpy, and I'm still getting used to life in the post op world but I wouldn't change a thing!!  Good luck to you!  I will say a little prayer for you!

Jules, you did great on the pre-op diet.  I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday.  I know you can do this and it will go great for you.  I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting when you will be on the other side.  Stay positive.  Before you know it, it will all be a memory.  Amy

Hi Jules, so your day is nearly here.  I know how you feel about being scared.  The staff at RWH are top-rate.  I had nurse Cindy as my floor nurse during the day and she was great.  I can't say enough about how wonderful the nurses are there.  I have a funny story for you.  When I was in the recovery room, they asked me to "scooch" over from the bed I was in to the bed they were going to bring me to my room in.  Well, I've never been much of a scoocher, especially at this size!  So, I asked if I could just stand up, step down, then onto the bed.  THey said sure, with their help.  So, as I stood up I felt a bit of soreness in my tummy area.  Hmmmm, where had I felt this sensation before?  THen I looked around in my semi-drugged state and determined, hey, this place (recovery) looked familiar to me.  I know!  THen my next thought was, uh oh!  I asked, "I just didn't have a baby did I!?!?"  I remember them laughing and saying, no, were you expecting one!  I said if one came out you better put it back!  So, that was kind of the joke.    Thought you'd enjoy a chuckle!  Jules

Good Luck Jules,   You'll do just fine.  Nancy
