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 :biggrin:. 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 :confused:.

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

I was also scheduled and had the surgery on April 20th. So I'm about a week post surgery. It is mostly going well. I'm just anxious to start the next phase of this diet and actually get to eat something pureed LOL

Im scheduled May 4th and I am starting to get really excited and nervous! I start my pre-op diet Thursday. good luck and message me and keep me posted since we are so close in our band dates!

Best wishes and your journey will begin in no time. It is worth the wait. Love my LB. imaluckydog
