Are you excited? How was the all day class you have to go to? I go on the 3rd

[SweetPotato 142]

I'm excited and a little scared... Probably the normal combo:). The all day class was fine... We went over the meds and Vitamins, talked about the surgery day and post op process, then had a short physical. Mine was super fast, I only take 2 meds- one for thyroid and one for Migraines, went over those and my medical history and I was out in about 5 minutes.

I was done with everything before 1230

49 pounds is wonderful.. 8 days you probably lost a ton ...☺️☺️☺️ No pain meds for me either. I didn't take it out of fear but the pain wasn't bad. Back to work how was that? And tiredness?

Cool he is so nice,I met him the day of my orientation ...

[SweetPotato 142]

I'm feeling pretty normal, unless I'm eating something. Not too tired, which is surprising to me. I was even able to run my usual 2 hour support group without feeling like I needed a break. I commute to SF for work and my stomach hurts a little when I get out of the car... That's the worst of it right now. I'm also struggling a little to make myself eat and I'm not up to 48 oz of Water yet, but Im close:). Can't wait to weigh myself, cuz these close are getting loose!

Everyone seems to rave about Dr Baggs.

[ready2droppounds 40]

That's good @@rena! My sister has surgery 2 years ago and Dr. Baggs was her surgeon she raved about him and his bedside manner. Plus I did research on him before I found out I had him. He is great!
