Oh man. No snow for me! Thank goodness. I'm stressed enough with easy weather and being five miles from the hospital. I also hate IVs. We can start a club with SF. Okay ladies. I am off to bed. Goodnight!!!!!!!!

But you're not far behind!

You too cc! I will be updating as soon as I can. I saw you're around noon. I am at 830. Good luck! I am crazy nervous but I'm not turning back!

Oh yeah. After my band I had atelectasis. It was terribly painful and my out-patient procedure became three days in the hospital. The IS will be used. And as for meds they asked me to Bering a list. It's only three meds. Lol.

I know!! Xanax is kicking in now. Even bigger woo!

Alright SF...I am packed!!!!!!

Good luck! You can make it. At least you aren't going from eating your typical diet to nothing. It's only another step for a day.

I need to get that.

I need to get that.

It's alright. Not everyday will be perfect. As long as you get back on the wagon and stick with it overall you'll be okay. Just keep swimming!

Thanks. Xanax is a miracle drug for me tonight. Finishing my bag check then off to bed!

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

Imagine getting surgery canceled on the LAST night of your liquids. I was so upset! Lol.

Yes! All but my super comfy sports bra which is in the dryer. And I took half of a Xanax after that call. Lol.

Yeah. I have talked to my parents. And of course I need to pay. I was just shocked that the woman said pay it all or cancel your surgery. I have had multiple surgeries here and had my daughter at this hospital and have never had an issue like this before. So I was just thrown off by her two options. I am still paying a hospital bill from an ER visit with our daughter in October so I know this is an option and doesn't need to be paid all up front. But I now have the money from my parents. Mom was always going along. Now she will be an investor. Lol.

I got a call from my hospital at 4:30 telling me my insurance has authorized them to collect the remainder of my deductible ($2400 I don't have). I asked the woman if I could set up a payment plan and she said if I needed that I should have set it up ahead of time and it wasn't an option now. I asked her what they do for emergency room patients and she said she only works with the surgical side and doesn't know. So I asked what do I do if I can't come up with the money on time? She said "I suggest you call your surgeon and cancel." As if I don't have enough stress. I knew my dad and mom would lend me the money. But they were both at work and I couldn't talk to them until after 5 (when my surgeons office would close). I put a call in to the patient advocate I have met a few times in my many hospitalizations at this hospital and I called the main hospital line. They said anyone who can help me is gone for the day and won't return until 8 tomorrow. My surgery is supposed to happen at 830. I am in full panic. I am sticking to my liquids (even though I wanted my chicken sandwich as soon as I heard I may not be able to have surgery tomorrow). And I will show up tomorrow. I feel I have called anyone I can. I don't know what else to do.

I couldn't imagine doing this while in school! You go girl.

They did do that when I had my band. So I will be asking for that again.

I'll be in surgery tomorrow at this time. I just posted this somewhere else too. But it's cuz I'm excited and freaked. SF that IV is causing my stomach to turn. I know you understand.

Tomorrow at this time I will be in surgery. Omg.

Hubs got you through! That's awesome. My poor husband has never been with me when I have had surgery before (except the birth of our daughter which was a planned c-section). We were engaged when I had my band done but he was deployed and we were married and just had our daughter when it was removed but he was away with the navy. He's a wreck. He told me on Thursday morning he will want my Xanax. Haha. But I know he will be strong and silent in front of me, them freak out with my mom. Lol.

I still want my spicy chicken sandwich. I don't care for fries. Lol. Don't worry. I ate plenty to make up for that!

This was my first time having the hot and sour. That's spicy! Had to pour some out and add plain beef broth.

Yes! Totally Freudian. We all felt it. Lol!

I'm going to have some too! Lol. Broth party!
