my baby gets the lapband tomorrow!!!!

So, here we are the night before my girlfriends surgery. I am super excited for her! I have mixed emotions about the whole thing though. I am super excited like i said, excited for her, excited for me, but very nervous about the actual procedure. Not so much even the procedure as the anesthesia. I  work for the hospital the surgery is going to take place in, which is comforting, but i cant get passed the intubation process and anesthesia. I work as an EMT and see these things often, but it is different when it involves someone that i care so deeply for


Wish us luck!

Sending good juju!  She's really lucky to have someone like you to help her through this.

Hope all goes well!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a real "organized religion" person. But I have a close friend whose father was a minister. Whenever I freak out about something, she gently paraphrases from Mark 4:40 "Why do you fear? Where is your faith?"

Somehow, even in the absence of a regular church life, I remember these words when I get afraid. I remind myself of my belief that love is not only powerful, it is indestructable. There is no need to fear, because I have faith in the power of love.

Your love for your partner is fierce. It will carry you - and her - right through all this. In this I have faith.

All the best to you both!

how nicely said......... awwww.....




best wishes!

 I found that my fears were much worse than the actual procedure.  I realize this doesn't help when you are still on this side of it.  Hang in there!  It's the start of a fabulous new journey.  She's fortunate to have your support and love.  Her first week will likely be a little rough but will get easier as each day passes.  

May the Force be with you!

Awwww Happy to see you so supportive.. But, honestly dont worry.. Its a peace of cake. She's in shes out... She'll be a little uncomfortable just after but she'll be okay. Do fill us in though. Give us the update.

Keeping both of you in my thoughts today.  You two are so cute in your pictures!
