Losing it!

[greensleeve 457]

Just found out my surgery was moved up two hours which is wonderful because I was really not looking forward to having dry mouth for that long and hearing my stomach gurgle.

I told my 9 year old today in a very generic way and she is ok with it. Thankfully! Usually she is clingy with me and a drama queen.

Now I have to pack, take my before pictures, and take my measurements. My stomach is a mess!

I feel kind of weepy and nostalgic and sad. I guess just saying good bye to my old life that I was comfortable with is hard even though I know the future is going to be so much better!

Once you have started losing the weight you will no longer be looking in that rear view mirror. You certainly won't miss that old life. Congratulations and hope you have a quick recovery.

Ha I remember hearing stories of med students practicing pelvic exams on women against their will while they're out before surgery. I was thinking if writing on my inner thigh with permanent marker "nothing in vagina, thanks."

Lmao.

They made me wash my stomach with this presurgery scrub, and now my stomach itches so bad!

On my way to the hospital.

Hi I'm ok except in a lot of pain and they will only give me Lortab which Tylenol #3. I'm really pissed off. They are calling the dr to see if he will give me something else. I just had my stomach cut out, I didn't have tooth taken out! My back is killing me too.

Hope you get some pain relief and some sleep. Best wishes.

[greensleeve 457]

Thank you. I'm praying.

They are really pissing me off. This morning I was told they would bring more pain meds. It took them an hour. I had to ask three times/ I am not happy. Want to go home.

How long do you have to stay in the hospital? I was only in for 24 hrs & then home. Hope u start feeling better soon! When u get home get some gas-x chewables they helped so much & also walk as much as u can tolerate.
