Hi all thanks for your good thoughts! On the other side, pain is manageable, walked/sat once today and about to do it again. Throat sore from the tube but not killer. So far, so good!!

So far we have 66 people on our "October list of Surgeries" topic. I'm sure this number will change as the month goes on. If you haven't found it, it should be somewhere below this topic in Pre-Operation Gastric Bypass Surgery questions & Ans.. Just leave a message there & I will add you. You can leave well wishes to the ones in surgery if you like there also.

We have the best group ever & we all are going to get through this! Can't wait to hear about our success stories! Even @@covarrubia911 you will just be 3 months behind us & still our Oct. family!!!

I had my pre-op yesterday at St. Joes. Words can't describe how happy I am w/ this hospital. I blew out a tire 1 mile before the hospital on a busy highway. It took a while to get my tire changed etc but the pre op dept waited for me ... On a late Friday afternoon when I'm sure they all wanted to get home. The pre op dept was so thorough & organized it took any fears I had right away!! I'm still praying this all comes together, as its my third time trying in 4 years. The nurse sat me down and asked why I was having this surgery as she thought I wasn't 'big enough' and my health conditions weren't so critical. I almost cried... I think my shocked face confused her. A few moments later she came in and hugged me and apologized bc she thought she sounded rude... But she told me she thought I was beautiful and didn't see my weight as I see it on myself. After sharing my story with her we talked a bit and her genuine softness & caring was exactly what I needed to know this was truly what I need to do for myself.
