8 days til surgery!!!!!

[AutumnBlueCarmen 4]

Hey everyone,

I had my pre-op nut consultation yesterday. I spent 5 hours with my doctors wife and then at the hospital for testing. It was a nice quiet change from being with the kids and also met a man there who was going to have surgery on the same day. It was so nice to have sort of a camaraderie with him and someone to talk to. We both had previously signed up for lap band and changed our minds. Hopefully all my test will turn out OK. I know the EKG was good...but no word on the chest x-ray or blood work yet. Just going to assume that no news is good news. I'm so very excited. I've lost about 5 lbs pre op diet...but had gained 10 from pigging out the weeks before and my birthday cake and all the DRINKS!

Anyway...I am almost into my final week count down. ♪♫♪♫ it's the final count down....da da da ta da!!!! ♪♫♪♫

OK...it is stuck in my head now...gotta share the pain or pleasure...whichever .

ANYWAY!!!!! Sorry to be quiet over here....I'm trying my best to stay on top of my Psychology class work and even get ahead so I don't have to worry so much while I am recuperating. I'm so very excited about everything!!! Is it sad that I enjoyed being AT the hospital? LOL I'm thinking of you all and checking on you when I can! ((hugs)) to you all! Thank you so very much for being here for me....I love having all you wise people to turn to for answers and opinions! <3 Carmen

Good thing you are working ahead in your class. It took about 4 days before my head cleared enough for me to "focus" on any type of work. You'll do fine!
