I have a date for my DS!!

I didn't think it would happen, but I am on the schedule for July 20th.  I am going to be so tired before I even get to that day.  I have an apt on the 13th, 14th, 15th, 18th and 19th to be ready for the 20th.  Oh my.  I need to get stuff in order around here too and do some fun stuff with my kids before I am recovering for I am not sure how long.


I was just so frustrated the past few days with the wait and started having second thoughts about it because I worry about the money (self pay!!!) and absorpt. issues of vites.  Then I get an e-mail today with a date. Such mixed feelings.  I just want to get past the recovery and pray I can get rid of my sleep apnea that is making me sooo tired!

You all ARE my support! Only my parents and hubby will know about this.  I have been burned before, I don't want peoples opinions so I am not telling them.  I told that to one DR. who said they will ALL know in a few months when I am dropping weight.  I didn't think that was nice of him.  I am going gluten free so that and my exercise will have to be my excuse.


Funny how we wait and wait and I am now in a panic. lol  I am so worried about gas that I have already ordered Devrom, probiotics and just one drop for the potty:)  Lord, please just don't let me have gas in church!..EVER!!

I wish I could tell you that all the gas stuff will make a difference.  It might.  I haven't found anything but glad I work at home and have understanding friends.

congrats on your date.  You are right, its, wait, wait , wait, then oh my go****s here. 

AWESOME!!!!     WooHoo!!!

Price,   understanding friends?  Yikes, will I have to be a hermit to avoid doing that in front of friends? Can't it be done in the bathroom? 

Mel, THAT is fantastic news but I can understand your panic now, You have a date so close!!!

Maybe just not eat offending foods starting about Fri afternoon, all the way thru Sat so you can safely get thru church? 

If I decide to have a "high carb" day, I make sure dh has the same stuff and we don't go anywhere. :) 

Seriously, it's not that bad for me except at night...that is my "bad" time. And it's not all that bad unless I've come across a new food my body doesn't like. MILK was and still is a biggie. I use Lactaid Milk and take the Lactaid pills to help.

I already have the milk issue so I always take  lactaid with milk.

If I can control it with eating low carb, I can do that.  I guess I am worried about having it even if I avoid carbs.  When my son was a little younger, he would claim any and all gas..even if we know the dog did it.  He doesn't do that now though so he will not claim mine, if I have it:)

There are ways to control things....secret ways. I will tell you when and if the time comes, young grasshopper. Do not worry and enjoy your celebration.

Majormom,
You must tell me now  it will make me feel so much better!! Please, oh please????

Antibiotics. If you have a cooperative surgeon or PCP you can get a script for Flagyl. If you don't have a cooperative doc, let me know and I'll tell you the rest.

Congratulations!! Sounds like you will be busy up until your surgery date..
