  1. I have a five year old too and I keep reminding myself she is a big reason why I am doing this. Keep trying to look 3-5-10-20 years out. I can't wait to walk her down the isle. My surgery is Tuesday and I am nervous but I keep thinking about what this will allow me to do.

    Wow, it is officially real. Just got a call from the hospital . I report on Tuesday at 10:30... surgery is at 1:30.
  6. I was wondering what kind of pedometer everyone uses and what they think of it. Second, if it is not to personal, how much did it cost?
  7. I just bought a fit bit flex. Now to figure out how it works!
  8. Ouch... that doesnt sound fun. Congrats on the 11 pounds though.
  9. I hope it all starts getting better for you. Keep your eye on the prize. It won't be long until we are filling up the NSV thread
  10. I am getting a little nervous but have been so busy I have not had much time to think about it. I am sure it will hit me this weekend.

    I just got back from my last pre-op appointment. All is looking good to go for next week. I have lost 18lbs since my PCP appointment last week. This pre-op diet is for real.

    Surgery and a catheter

    I would rather get up 30 times when sore and tired than have a catheter... I have had to pee bad before but waited three hours to have home court advantage

    Surgery and a catheter

    This is what I most dread about my surgery. I have my final pre-op meeting with my surgeon on Wednesday and I am going to try to negotiate the catheter being in and out while I am knocked out. I will walk out of the OR after the surgery if they let me wake up with out that.

    Approved today!

    That is great!
  25. I just got a call from my insurance and after being originally denied due to the surgery scheduler not sending everything in, I have now been APPROVED!!!!! July 23rd is my scheduled date and I had already started the liquid diet and am on day 3 of that. I am doing the fat man celebration dance!!
