Well... Friday is the big day- I am soooo excited and a bit nervous, but I really have a positive attitude going into this.  I have Lupus so I was declined by three surgeons before I found one that would do the surgery and he has worked closely with my Rheumatologist and my Hematologist.  The only thing I have to do prior to my surgery is a take a previpac due to some minor bacteria in my stomach to prevent ulcers and be on Lovenox shots for 6 days to help prevent blood clots since I have a high factor to clot due to the Lupus.  I have found that my friends have mixed feelings about the surgery but I almost want to think its jealousy as the ones that are not supporting me are also overweight.  To my surprise my mom is really supporting me- I just want to be healthy to enjoy my daughter and be able to do things with her that I can no longer do... I just physically can't!  Anyhoo I am really excited and will let you know how it goes post-op.
