And do you have Medicare also?

Well I didn't. make it to surgery before my reunion but life is still good. On September 5th my surgery will happen and all postponement will be over. And I can still shine my light for all!

And I am in Central Ohio, my city is named Mount Vernon.

Your body,is saying. WHAT,ARE YOU DOING TO ME? We have all been there or we will be. Courage my friend, you will be okay!

And instead of saying I feel,like I'm dying you will say Now I think I will,live! Give youself a chance, give yourself permission to heal, to grow, you will,be all right. You have come through a lot but,i believe You Will Make It!😛👍😛

Reb I'm an early morning surgery,that day 7AM but I will be thinking of all my brother and sister September 5th people as we go through it all. Be a lot of joy on our Victory Bench, just A week and WE ALL,WILL BE THERE! Stay Strong Reb Stay Strong!

We will take tastes of everything, a spoonful or 2, no more stuffing a turkey drumstick,under our shirt to eat later. And guess what, this time we will have time to taste but also enjoy each, others company. Pretty doggone cool,i do think!

I turn to the soundscapes music choice on my Spectrum Cable. Just listen to the music, close your eyes and let the music flow over you like a warm soothing stream. zrekax your fists, relax your toes and Judy sit. Works for me almost every time.

Mitzimom, you me and RnYBeyhive are going so rock this and we'll take TxLinds4evr,with us.

Oh I am sorry TX4everLinds maybe they'll give you some stuff at your Pre-op appointment. OSU calls it a peri-operative but same dang thing. Got weighed, talked an Internal medicine girl doctor, she went down the list from hades medical checklist, each and every bodily system,swear we started with the head and brain and worked out way down. Wished I could have told her I had. twin aunts that died from the hiccups, anything to brighten up the litany. Then I had a nurse-practioner,who was supposed to teach me how to scrub myself with Hibaclenz, except,i am allergic to that so she had to go to Plan B D8al gold liquid soap. Second,of two showers I have to leave the suds on for at least 5 minutes and be sure to clean my navel.Hunnh? Don't shave,don't pluck my belly, double Hunnh? Dress in clean clothes afterwards. Promise not to get sick or take antibiotics before your surgery. We went down the list of my,medications, what I had to stop taking, what I could take morning of with teensy sip,water. Brush my teeth so,no germs in mouth, moot point, I have dentures. Don't break any bones before surgery.Yadda Yadda Yadda! Then I went and had X Ray , 1 front , 1 from left side. Didn't make me hold a sign , so I guess I wasn't arrested. Then it was off to the lab. Funny I didn't know I had an excess amount of blood, must have because the took out a pint. Now I had swore an oath that I don't drink, smoke, do recreational drugs, hasn't to the best of my knowledge been exposed to communicable disease, and that Promise I would not get sick. But shall we,make sure of that, let's run some tests. CBC, BUN, creatinine, glucose, some nobody else knows about. And letsvtype it, I said I know I am A rhNegative, didn't care, apparently me and the American Red Cross,know NOTHING! Then they presented me a red legal sized envelope is a green plastic bracelet with important info. This is my Golden Ticket into the WONDERFUL WORLD OF SURGERY. No tickee, no surgery! This envelope is in my safe. I will not leave home without IT! That card that RnY Bet got and I have yet, entiles you to eat off the children's menu. And I have heard some have a notation about being able to box half your entree. On the other side it usuall states you are a bariatric patient. Neat thing to Have.

Well good. You are getting closer. I got my spirometer in July, I am suppose to be practicing with it for the 30 days proceeding. I got a bottle too, I have to take the clear Ensure stuff also . One before bedtime just before I go NPO, and I will take the other one on the ride to Columbus so it's in me 2-3 hours before surgery. And my dietician gave me sample bottles of the different protein shakes and coupons. Didn't get Hibaclen because I am allergic to it. I can use Dial Gold Liquid. I take one doer midday on the 4th, the second just before bed. Th8nk what I will do is, drink clear Ensure, take my shower, go NPO,try to get some rest,because my friend Kathy will be picking me. up between 3:30 AM and 4, so we will have time to make it to OSU before my 5 AM posted arrival time. On the way over I will drink my 2nd bottle of clear Encure. I already have my outfit picked out, hanging up covered with a trashbag.This is to prevent my 2 cats from making a bed on it and covering it in cat fur.I have started packing my bag. Got my GasX in there but I still to get my Biotene. I've got RouxNRabbit all clean and her fur all fluffy. All my goods from them came in an OSU backpacks. so my incentive spirometer will travel in that. I didn't get that it,out card , have to ask them about that. But otherwise we're pretty comperable. Think that's nice they do give us stuff, don't you? I am getting a little,excited, tomorrow I go see my PCP , got to get a new prescription for my Symbicort and Combivent inhalers and, now don't laugh, I want them to make sure my ears are clean. My family has a heredity of excess wax production and I want them clean for my surgery. Have a good evening RnYBeyhibe, my friend.

Congratulations@kaleeshab on your surgery, a week from tomorrow I have mine, I am excited and hopeful. for my future,

That is a shame GamePlan18, but now you don't have to wait as long,in the morning. And hopefully it will work,out for your surgery twin to have here a little later. If you notice,on the posting above there more surgery twins for you. Tomorrow is a popular day for surgery! Good luck and Good Healing. Update it when it is all over,

Ah Lillybilly I haven't had it yet but soon . A week from tomorrow on September 5th I will have a RNY Bypass at 7 Am at Ohio State University Hospital in Columbus Ohio . After over 3 years of trying it finally is going to happen, I am so very happy about it. No fears, no sorrows, no tears, I face with peace in my heart. It truly,is the right thing, it is the culmination of much struggle to reach this point. But please be happy for me, my friend.

I wish I was there Lillybilly I would give you a big hug! If you need an endoscopy do it,it may really be of help, praying it is something easy to fix.

@Alicia Marie, @crazymama81@clsumrall all tomorrow and @pink18 the day afterwards August is ending with a beautiful day for you all.😃 Smile, don't be frightened, you all have worked very hard for this day, might have been rough patches but that's all over now. IT IS YOUR DAY --'THIS IS YOUR TIME TO 🌝SHINE--TODAY YOU ALL ARE THE SUPERSTARS☀ WE ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE! Hope and joy to all of you!

And I will be praying for you also, praying that you will be granted the peace that passes all understand, that only joy will be in your heart as you face your day. And that you awake with a fresh sense of purpose as you start to heal and face a future of promise. You have been brought this far with HIM and HE will be with you all the way. In Christian love.

And there. are a few more on September 2018 Bypassers and my thread September 2018 Surgeries and Success. You will find many many friends at Bariatric Pal. Oh before I forget, Summer 2018 Surgeries check in here, YLime has that one going for months.😎🌻😛

I have thought I was having a heart attack ,Well i AM in the right age bracket!, and it turned out to be GERD. And the durned ER doctor actually laughed at me. I would have an actual 💔 for revenge but I might be the one dying.

Hey try the Torani flavorings in the coffee aisle, a little pricey but it takes you away from dull bland vanilla. To me vanilla things are thick, white and tasteless. Yucky, poo poo!😬

No I didn't grow up in the Great Depression but my parents did . And they,over- fed me like a foie de gras turkey , and 72 years late I'm having to,perl off the layers of fat, and it isn't coming off as fast as they put it on me. Remember in the 40s it was Chubby Babies are Healthy Babies and Cuddly is Cute! Dimples might look cute on a toddler, but on a full grown woman, it is pitifully ludicrous. Nobody,is looking for a 300 pound Teddy 🐻Bear to cuddle even if I tie a Big Pink Bow around my neck. Besides I perspire,so the bow is soon going to be soggy and unappealing! Not with a box 🎁 of goodies is anyone going to pick ME off my perch! Here I sit and SNIFF💦 I'm getting a tad dusty.🐻

Oooh Andicapri you're my surgery day twin and Macadamia, I knew you were hoping to lose weight man not,this,waym Get feeling better, I don't want you to miss out on your surgery! So close, please don't anything else happen for you!

@ peggilyn72 how are you doing with your recovery after your July surgery, Long time since we heard from uou!

And eat a clean healthy diet, granted you can produce milk on most any, but give you little one the Grade A double A breast milk they deserve!

And people, if your mind is set on Mexico as your surgical destination, please consider Bariatric Pal MX. Our founder, Alex Brechler trusted them brought to have his revision done there last March. Could have had his choice of all the world's hospitals, clinics and surgery centers and he still chose there. Pretty good recommendation from where I sit!😝👍😎
