:rolleyes: Ok, my surgery is scheduled for 12:30 tomorrow. I have to be there at 11:00. They are going to do bloodwork to see if my sinus infection has cleared. I feel fine now.......so keep your fingers crossed that my WBC's are back down to normal!

Today is nothing but Clear liquids. So far, so good. But I have only been awake for 20 minutes. :D

Greg: I think that is a great idea to go and visit her.

I just wished there was some way we could coordinate a visitation or an angel buddy thingy. You all know what I am talking about.

If you haven't learned by now I love to start something when I feel passionate about it. LOL!! Hence the Vegas Bash and all future ones. LOL!!

Anyone interested? I can start another thread so I don't hijack this one.

GOOD LUCK LAINIE Come back when you feel up to it and post. WHOO HOO!! YOU ARE BANDED!

I just got home from the hospital.

I got there at 1:30 expecting to see her wide awake and chatting away. But her room was empty. She has the same room and bed I did. They said she was still in recovery. But that all went well. She was scheduled for 8:30 amn surgery. I couldn't stay so as I was leaving they were wheeling her back to the room. So I waited and she woke up and is doing fine. Little sore from the gas but doing well. She had a girlfriend waiting in the surgery lounge so I just stayed till her friend got there. So she looks good and doing well..SHES a BANDSTER NOW lol

And tomorrow Lainie you will be too.. Proud badge to wear. Good Luck. I'd come visit you too yiur just a hair outside my range LOL

How exciting, Lainie! You'll do fine.

Penni and Greg, I think a "bandster angel" program is a great idea. Could we start threads under our states in the local support section?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
