Both Of Us Will Have Surgery The Same Week!

[bev712 28]

Good news: my surgery has been moved up to Wednesday, January 25th. My guy's surgery is Monday, January 23rd, so we'll both be on the same diet schedule, the same office visit schedule and the same fill schedule. He's pretty pain-tolerant, so he'll be off the Percocet in time to drive me to the hospital. This is all going so well it seems it's definitely meant to be. We had our pre-op education class last Wednesday, we have our pre-ops at the hospital this Thursday, and then a week later we'll both be home together and starting our new lives.

It was funny at the class when the nurse gave each of us a sample band to hold and look at, I thought of them as being like wedding bands! We're young seniors with grown children, and we aren't married and aren't going to be, but the two bands really symbolized a new kind of life together, with a new kind of commitment, to the program and to each other. So, we're going out for prime rib and steak dinners tonight to say goodbye to Big meat and then gearing up for the next week and a half of pre-op doctors' appointments, hospital appointments and surgeries. We're ready. Thanks to you all for both factual and moral support.

i love it...I wish me and my mister could have done it together. I think he would be more understanding to all the changes I have gone through and still going throough. I couldnt convince him though. I secretly think he resents me for wanting to lose a whole lot of weight. I hope it doesnt affect our relationship too much! Good Luck to the both of you!

Me and my hubbie had surgery 1 1/2 apart. It does help to understand each others challenges.
