My surgery is today!

I leave in 10 minutes for the hospital!  I'm all packed and I had my boyfriend take a before picture of me!  I'm nervous, but ready.  I stay one night in the hospital and will be back home tomorrow, the bariatric center is holding a support group meeting in the morning that I hope to attend before I come home.  I figure, it'll be worth it to go while I'm there if I can.  

Keep me in your thoughts? :)  

I hope everything goes well. Please keep me postdated. I am still considering the <>>.  Good Luck

Yay!  By now you should be out of surgery recovery. 

Sending lots of positive energy your way!  Keep us updated :) 

Congrats!  You are on your way!!!!

I'm home now!  :) Everything went well but I had the hardest time peeing after the surgery!  I think it was like 8 hours after I woke up before I could go.  LOL-TMI I know. :)  Thanks for all the thoughts-I'm hoping for a quick recovery. :)

Glad you are home and doing well.  I just got home today myself. all is well here too!

Sending you happy thoughts and wishes for a quick recovery, too! 

PS - that TMI thing (lol) - same problem I had and the nurse told me it was because of the stuff they put in the IV pre-op so you don't drool and such during surgery - it totally dries you out.  I never knew they did that!  Interesting!

Hi, Lisa! This is crazy--I had my Realize band surgery the same day as you did! Dr. Sonnanstine also did mine. My time was at 8:30, so you must have been the one right after me. We'll have to keep in touch and see if we can't help each other through this!

The board time is in pacific I think-my check in for surgery was 12:30 EST!  I definitely want to keep in touch-are you around Georgetown or did you travel there?

No, I'm from Pikeville, actually. I guess I'm about 2.5-3 hours away.
