Surgery Scheduled

Hi all,
I found out yesterday from Dr Suh's office that my lap band surgery was approved.  My surgery is scheduled for 11/13.  I'm excited and a bit nervous all at the same time.  Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks,
Willow

I know this is late, Willow, but I offer you my prayers and wonderful thoughts on your surgery!  I hope that you had an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Karen,
Thanks...it wasn't completely uneventful, surgery had to be postponed until Sunday 11/15 because I went into Afib as I went into surgery and went under anesthesia.  I came home that Sunday night, was in some discomfort but I'm doing ok for the most part.  My PCP told me that this probably happened because my thyroid levels went back up again. 

Then at my one month mark, a lovely trip to the hospital because I had pain so bad I couldn't breathe.  Yeah, it was GAS.  But I'm ok now.  Went for my first fill on the 16th and damn that needle scared me but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  So now, I've been fully released to workout and eat chicken, turkey, shrimp, veggies, fruit...yeah!! 

Willow

Willow,
    What an eventful couple of days!  And yes, GAS can make you feel like you are having a heart attack.  I am glad that you are better and enjoying the right foods for you!!!
