Getting down to the wire!

Hello everyone..

My surgery is Wednesday.. the 5th and I am so excited. Well and nervous too. :faint: But I know things will go well. I am on this drug that they made me start taking a week prior to surgery. It is supposed to help protect my heart and stuff during surgery. They said they give it to people who have hypertension and or diabetes. I have both.. lucky me.. So my blood pressure is real low and I have been so dizzy and feeling icky.. Today wasn't as bad as yesterday though.

So cannot wait! 5th is the day and I am so excited! Wish me luck and I will be amongst the banders!

Love,

Donna

Good Luck on your surgery... Mine is not far behind yours on the 25th. I just had my Gall bladder removed two days ago so I am in the healing mode.. I can't wait to get this done, and the surgery I just had is said to very simular to the lap band procedure. I must say its alot easier than I expected. Well good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing...

Hey gang! I am home.. since yesterday and doing very well. Had trouble with the pain meds but now just taking Tylenol and it works fine. I had alot of port pain but today I am just sore. Kinda like a pulled muscle. Can't really bend over good so picking up things is hilarious. I do this "Matrix" leg stretch move to get what I need or to feed the kitties. LOL

My diet is liquid.. carnation instant Breakfast, popsicles, Jello, cream of chicken or mushroom Soup (strained), egg drop soup.. I will be on that until I see the doc on the 14th.

That is all for now guys.. I feel a nap coming on.. oh yeah did I tell you I am tired??? whew!

Hugz,
