Nope. I talked to Lizette (the Med Asst) today and age said she is forwarding my file to Dr Chu to review and then once she gives the "ok" the surgery scheduler will contact me to schedule. She said that I HAVE to be at the exact date (or lower) to schedule and I have to be at the exact weight (or lower) the day of surgery or surgery will be cancelled.

She said did say that Dr Chu is scheduling for Late Feb early March at this point. So that is good. I think I'm going to just dance and jog all weekend... Everything I do will be dancing or jogging.... I'll jog to the bathroom... Dance in the shower... maybe do a combo of the two when I go check the mail... LOL!!! I WILL be down to my goal weight on Monday! Mark my word!!!!

I'll be thinking of you all weekend! And as far as weigh in the day of surgery, the rn who weighed me (still fully dressed with shoes on, I thought it was gonna be after I was in a gown) said she was only weighing so they could calculate meds. Has anybody actually been turned down the day of surgery, or is it just a scare tactic?

I was over by .5 of my goal weight and got the okay. Day of surgery showed me having gained 2 and here I am now, sleeved. Unless you gain like 10 pounds by surgery date, you should be fine

211.2 on record!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!

So, Kimi: How are you feeling since surgery?

[kimikat3 150]

Hello! Feeling great! I'm seven days out now (well, I guess right days since its almost midnight) . Had horrible nausea and gas pains for the first couple of days... Not I feel absolutely "normal". My abdominal muscles are still sore, but nothing horrid. Feels like I've been working out my abs hardcore.

Having difficulty getting in all of my fluids, but I keep pushing along. I did have a pretty big breakdown last night from all of the emotional ups and downs. I have been preparing all meals for my family since surgery and its been a bittersweet duty. I love being able to smell the food and to cook, but as soon as I'm done and they are eating (and I'm not), the reality sets in. I KNOW it's temporary, but never the less, it's hard to deal with.

Other than that, life has been good. Very grateful that I was able to have this surgery done!

Tomorrow morning I start on introducing yogurts, sf pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and sf apple sauce. It will be nice to have a bit of substance to my diet now.

Thanks for checking on me.

Sounds like you're doing great!
