Surgery date: 9-28

So, I have had a kidney infection, and I am taking Cipro for 7 more days. I got a call from my Surgeon's offfice this morning, and my surgery date is 9-28, so yes, I am going to be a September,10 bander. I have to see my dr. in the a.m. and I guess I will start my 2 weeks liquid thing tomorrow. Oh well, no time for a "last meal". Please keep your wonderful comments and sugestions coming. But more than anything, your prayers. If there is a prayer group on this site, I would love to know about it. I will keep you all posted.   :thumbup:

special momet

:smile::smile2:I just wanted to share a special moment at work today. I was sharing with my 3 coworkers that I am scared about tomorrow's endoscopy and my banding, which will be hopefully by 10-1. They all 3 walked into my office and said they wanted to pray with me. It was such a special moment, and although I know that God is in control of everything I do, it never hurts to be reminded ocassionally. I know that HE will see me thru whatever comes my way.

one more day of preop

I will be banded on 9-28 and I will be so glad to get this preop stage behind me. It has really become much easier to do this liquid thing. I will have to say that I am looking forward to eat something solid again. Anyway, I sure hope everything goes well on Tuesday morning.

Its been a while

I enjoy reading blogs so much, I forget to post to mine. I had my surgery on 9-28, and I guess my ups and downs have been like most everybody elses. I lost 18 lbs in the 2 weeks of pre op and I have lost 12 lbs since my surgery, 30 lbs in all. My first fill will be 11-17, and I will be ready for it. Of course I have very little restriction now, so I really have to stay focused. I am new hope that this band just might be going to work. Can someone tell me how to get my picture on this blog, I would like to introduce my ugly face. Its nice putting a face with a blog.

Half way thru preop

Well, this time next week, my band will be in place, and I'll be on to the next phase of this journey. Finally, I am beginning to be ok with this fluid thing, and I have lost 9 1/4 lbs since 9-15. It is so much fun stepping on the scales every morning and seeing the scales go down 1-2 lbs. Loving it. I had my first class of teaching how to eat or shall I say drink for the first few days, and I got scared to death, thinking I can't do this. but you know, I have a wonderful Heavenly Father that looking after me, and by the Grace of God, I can do this.

getting unstuck

So I am having my surgery on 9-28 and I have been hearing about getting stuck. I am beginning to understand how that happens, and my question is how do you get unstuck. I would love to know this before it happens. I hope it never does. Can anyone help me?:thumbup:

copa, next step

Well, I saw my doctor yesterday, I will have a endoscopy on 9-9, and as soon as my insurance is approved, my surgery should be around the last of September. I am really getting excited. My doctor was so nice, he is a Christian, which is very important to me. He answered all my questions. Love this site. it makes me feel like I have a lot of friends that I can share a common interest with. :confused:

copa, Dr Day

Well, today is 9-1-10, I have been thru my physcological evaluation, and today I see the doctor, not sure what's next. I was told by his assistant that I should be able to have my surgery 2-3 weeks after seeing him. So excited, and I just wish the "friends" that can be so critical and try to always discourage instead of encourage would just hush. I will let you know what my next move will be after I see my doctor.:tt2:
