This last week before banding is a busy one. I had to get the Taxes finished and spend an afternoon with DH at the accountant. I have to get my work to a place where someone else can take over for me at the office which will probably never happen, LOL. I also had to have now Pre op blood work done and of course the H&P which again the girls at my Cardiologist office made happen for me. I should be able to pick up everything on Monday and fax to Rebecca at Dr.Feiz's office.

I was wondering in past blogs about the begining of the liquid diet, well now I know. It all starts on Tuesday. Two full days of liquids before surgery. I will have to be at Cedars at 10:45 on Thursday and my surgery if on time will be at 12:45. Then a 24 hour stay at the hospital and Home Sweet Home, back to peace and quite. If this is anything like my Hysterectomy I will be uncomfortable for a few days and a bit sore but then back to it in a week. Walking was the key for me to get thru all of this. Hope it works this time.

Well,Dear Blog, next time you hear from me I will be BANDED!

Tig, I am happy for you. I know you are ready.

I will be banded on Wednesdy, March 25th, here in Mesa, AZ. I too, am making preparations for my absence from the office. I am absolutely sure no one will keep up with things while I am out for 2 weeks, so I won't be disappointed when I get back thinking things would be up tp date.........LOL I am so ready, this is day 18 of the "just liquids" diet, three more to go. Its been tough but I won the battle being as committed as I am. You keep in touch and good luck with your banding. Lighterload
