Upcoming DS Surgery Dates!
Hello everyone!
My surgery date is May 29th and boy am I nervous. It is crunch time and I want to make sure I make my surgery weight. I have 8 pounds to go and only three weeks to get it done. I am planning on following a Slimgenics plan to should have about 12 pounds off my by my pre opt visit. So, I was wondering how many people ran into problems with not being able to get enough fluids in and whether this is something I should be nervous about. Also, I was wondering if anyone out there has spinal fusion of any sort and how that impacted your recovery. I was rear ended (in a car of course ) in Feb. of 2008. My spine was severed and I was only held together at the disc...kind of scary now that I reflect back on it all. Anyways, I have heard that the surgery is hard on folks with back issues...anyone have any pointers or insight?
Let me just add that I have been so inspired by all of you and your stories of honesty, courage, and perseverance. I really feel blessed to have fallen into the website. I have learned so much and I have truly been moved at times with peoples stories. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
