My Sob Story

[ejsfanatic 98]

Thanks for the inquiries. The hospital can have some stop by to sit with him a bit, but he doesnt want the help. Today I had to have cortisone shots in my neck and one of the nurses gad the sleeve done in july. She came out and sat with my son ans spoke with him. He felt much better after hearing her story and seeing how good she looked.

Thank you for the well wishes. Waiting on the hosp to call with my surgery time for tomorrow.

They called. Have to be at the hospital at 0630 for 830 surgery. Cany anyone tell me about how long the surgery takes?

Every surgeon is different. My surgery will be about a half hour but I'll be in the hospital over night.

To all you moms with your fears about this surgery taking you from your kids, the only thing I can say is (hopefully it doesn't come off harsh, I find I have a blunt way about me so disclaimer: no offense meant) you have an exponentially higher chance of dying prematurely due to obesity related diseases than you do from having this surgery. This surgery is helping extend the time you have with your kids, not rob you of it.

I was just about to write what Mouse said, but she beat me to it. NOT having the surgery is what I'd be worried more about.

Everything went fabulous. Surgery was at 0830, i remember being wheeled to the OR but not getting there. Then I remember someone telling me to scooch onto the Operating Table. Then it was 230 pm and I was scooching to walk. Started walking about 3pm and have mede like 30 laps around this floor. I am starving, since they are only giving me ice chips. And my son sits beside me eating an italian hero hot fries and a pepsi.
