rosac80 22 Posted May 9, 2012 Tick tock ... I will be getting on a plane in less than 8 hours. Ohh it's getting real. No nerves just excitement. I must say that the bowel prep sucked. Goodluck 1 raven8888 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosac80 22 Posted May 9, 2012 Got my approval today!!!! I am so stinking scared!!' now its real. The prep diet was not awful. I am just going nuts in my head making sure I want this. 99.9 percent wants it I should say I 100% want it. I am scared of life after there is no turning back. What are your thoughts? I felt like that too. I push to get it done fast and once it was here I was like wow I am really leting them roll me in here to surgery. I think almost everyone has this feeling but when its done and you see the pounds fall off and know your more health its worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosac80 22 Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks. You gave me an idea: sucking the BBQ Sauce off of a rib. huh? I might have to do that after surgery. BBQ and movie popcorn are two things I will go to my grave eating, just not a lot after May 14. Your doing great with out sucking the sauce off a rib. You can make it May 14 right around the corner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glendaaus 20 Posted May 9, 2012 Good luck to all your ladies on your way. I just said to my husband this time next Wednesday I will be in San Diego too - you are closer than me Sharon - I have butterflies and I'm excited. I love travel - being an Australian living in Canada, but I have also lived in New Mexico too - I love seeing new places and different people. I know it's surgery - but I like to be able to say - I've been there!! This has become a huge group of people - keep us posted when you can. Surgery Date: 17 May with Dr Garcia - WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

NJsharon 119 Posted May 9, 2012 Glenda, as a Brit living in NJ, I also love travelling! I am secretly looking forward to being in Tijuana & hope I get some time to shop a bit too! I am getting mighty nervous right now though, thinking this time tomorrow I will probably be out of surgery & hopefully sleeved! Yikes, scaring me a bit! I am not scared of the afterwards, having to drink tiny sips & eat tiny bites. I am scared of the surgery itself & I hate pain, I am a big baby! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandra_Baby87 56 Posted May 9, 2012 SURGERY DAY TOMORROW!!! YAY =] 1030am IT IS! good luck all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glendaaus 20 Posted May 9, 2012 Sharon - shame we won't be there at the same time. I will add you as a friend and we can keep in touch. We speak the same "Queens English" no matter how long we have been away. Yes..... Australians speak English - correctly hahaha! I get hell here in Canada about my accent - but secretly all Canadians want to be Aussies (joking). I am tough, had 3 children all natural births, lap band 2003, removal of lap band (worst ever hospital pain/visit) this January. I have tattoos on my toes (which hurts as well). I think all pain is forgotten to be honest and it will only be for a short term. When you live with constant pain - like many people do - then it's a different matter. You will be just fine - keep asking for stuff for the pain if it get's too hard - that is what it's there for. Sandra - good luck for tomorrow xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
