Today is my last day of work and I'll be off the rest of the week recovering... I hope it's enough time but I think if I need more time I can ask for it, we'll see.

I've had a checklist of things to do before the day and all that's left is to have my last meal, having my last protein shake now, then take my test in class right after work, then start the bowel prep and that's when the fun really starts, lol.

I'll be at the outpatient surgery center tomorrow at 8am and surgery is scheduled for 10am. I can't wait to get this over with... my diabetes really gave me a scare this weekend. I was driving to Houston like I usually do on weekends to go see my sweetie and I had a low blood sugar crisis... since I have been on a low-carb diet it might have been a good idea to stop taking my Metformin, something my doctor forgot to mention... anyway I had the worst feeling and blurred vision that set off my vertigo... it was a scary drive... then yesterday I had to drive back and it was okay at first, then the blurry vision set off my vertigo again and I basically cried and prayed the last 60 miles before I made it home... I knew God wouldn't fail me but it was so scary...

So these last few weeks as I've been preparing and telling my co-workers and kept hearing "you don't need that" or "you're not that big" I started to wonder if maybe I didn't need the LAP-BAND®, but after this weekend's episode of what will continue to be my life if I stay on diabetes meds I've been reassured that I do need this! I know I can't do it alone, call me weak, I really don't care... it's my life and body and I know what I have to do for me... I just think of it as getting some will-power installed, lol...

I'll try to blog tomorrow evening if I'm not too woozy from the drugs... but then again woozy if nice, hehe

TTFN,

Jen :tt1:

Good luck and prayers that all goes well.
