Ok so tomorrow is my big day... and after my surgery being postponed once for a bladder infection, my feelings these time are completely different.... I am not as excited, and I am truly afraid. Not afraid of the surgery, but afraid of failure, afraid that after all this, I won't have restriction, or maybe that I won't care that I have restriction and I will still over eat; afraid of not losing weight. Has anyone felt that ? and if so, what was your outcome after the surgery?
To top it off, my husband who had jury duty today, and who has not been 100 % of my surgery, now will not be with me during my surgery tomorrow... his jury duty extends through tomorrow... So I'll be alone. :smile: No other family members in the state. My close friend from work said she'd come by and check on me... super sweet of her, don't know what I would do without her... Anyhoo... just scared.... wish me luck tomorrow 5/11/10.
Thank you for reading my boring worries :wink2:
Hi Guys...
So I'm totally new at this blogging thing.. so I apologize if it reads funny. I'll get the hang of it one day.
So just to give you a little background. I am 32, mother of two. I have been battleing my weight since I was about 10, with lots of losses and more gains. I finally decided to do the Lap Band, because I am at a witts end with this battle.
Originally I was scheduled for my surgery on April 20th, however I started to feel a little sick a few days before, lots of trembling and super super cold.. but no fever. I thought as long as I didn't have a fever, I was safe for my surgery. Well to my luck the night before, after going to bed with 5 blankets and still cold, I woke up at 1am and had 102.7 fever. At that time I called the doctor and he postponed my surgery, he said most likely I had an infection, Oh boy did I... I had the worst bladder / UTI infection I have ever had, and to top it off I had diverticulitis, which is also an infection but in the intestins :w00t:. I had both things going on at once... thank God my surgery was postponed, I can't imagine feeling as sick as I did on top of a surgery.
Well now I am scheduled for May 11th.. cross my fingers it will happen this time :biggrin:.
Feel free to contact me any time or to add me on as friends. I am looking foward to new friendships that will develop along with support for a mutual surgery that will tie us together.
I wish everyone the best of luck!!
Take care
Chrissy:wub:
