Hi Tammie30 !!! So sorry to hear about your set back. Hang in there girl, it will happen. My surgery did happen on Monday 7/7. Came out great. Dr. was gonna let me go on Tuesday, but I felt a little funny, so we agreed for me to stay one more night. Happy I did stay. Started throwing up during the night real bad. Had to go NPO again. Only IV'S going and still throwing up. Dr. ordered all kind of xrays all night long on Wedsday night. He came into my room around 10:45 pm and saw my condition and ordered emergency surgery. In less than an hour he was back in clearing up scar tissue from past surgerys. Felt 100% better after that. Came home yesterday (Thursday). First night was a little rough only because I had to really take care of myself. Oh and while I was in the hospital, My son had to rush my Dad to ER at the same hospital. My poor Mom & Aunt had run between the both of us. So please say a prayer for them and My Dad. They really don't know what is going on with him yet. Now time for my weight to start coming off!!!!!!!

Six more days and I can say "I did it". Gastric Bypass is next Monday 7/7/14. Getting a little nervous. Sorry folks, I can't spell.... lol

I am so ready for this to happen. It seems every time I get excited, there is a hicup or speed bump to slow something down. I am holding my breath until it is over.

I had the same thing happen to me last April. Mine went so high that I was put into the hospital on antibiotic drip for 3 days. Had to go to a Hematologist to find out what was wrong. Nothing was found and he released me for surgery. He told me I may be the odd person out that will always have somewhat of a HWC. Meds that you are taking could cause some of it. My new date was set for 7/7/14. Did all my pre-op yesterday. Got that call again today. YEPPERS, WBC was high again (still). Had to almost offer to go back into the hospital and have the antibiotics again for 3 days right before surgery. He finally gave in and Surgery is on again. I have known about my WBC since the late 80's, so it really wasn't anything new to me. Hang in there. Your surgery will happen.... Best of luck to you.

A bike sounds good, but I have a problem there. I bought a bike bout a year ago. After I fell off twice, I handed the receipt to my Son and told him to take that sucker back. Now I have my eyes on an aldult trike. I need alone time.

Where do you get this Torani syrup? I think I could handle something when the time comes.

It will go fast. I know, not fast enough!! Just stay busy. Act like Santa. Make a list and check it twice !!!! Once pre-op comes, it's all a slide into home base.

Congrats Tammie30. We will be doing it together. I will be nice to know that someone else is doing the same thing as me on that day. We will make it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am having bypass. Only way I wanted to go....

Haven't started pre-op diet yet. Only have to do it for 3 to 7 days before surgery. Lucky me.....

I was set for April 7, but had a problem with my WBC. Ended up in the hospital. After all of that didn't know if I really wanted to do this WLS. My time was running out to have this surgery. My Dad & Grandaughter refused to let me back off. So here I go again. July 7 is my day to become a new person. I am nervous this time. Last time I was like GO GO GO. But gonna pull my BIG GIRL panties up and march in there. Then I will holler HHHHEEEELLLPPPP!!! LOL

My surgery was set for April 7. Did all my pre-op and was ready to go. Had hospital pre-op on Tuesday 4/1 for the blood work and stuff like that. On 4/2 I recieve a call saying that my white count was high and surgery was canceled for now. Had more blood wook on 4/2 and it came back still too high. Went to primary and got shot & antibiotic. Go back this Tuesday 4/8 for more blood work. If it turns out good, then I can set another date. Problem is I have my Granddaughter and had everything set up for her. Now gonna have to do all that again or wait until June when school is out. Trying not to think too much about it. Just go with the flow.

I know I posted yesterday, but can't remember where. Must be a senior moment. Well, not to repeat it all. I was scheduled for bypass on Monday the 7th. Bad blood work 2 days in a row. Went to primary today, got super shot & horse pills. Go back Tuesday the 8th for more blood work. If white cells are down I will be able to reschedule surgery. I am sooo ready for this journey to start.
