Hurricane Ike Update from MissBS

[MissBS 3]

Hurricane update - first thing this morning, I got a call telling me my surgery has been postponed from tomorrow (Friday) to Wednesday because of Hurricane Ike. We had to change our flights, extend the rent a car, and quickly get our hotel room for 4 more nights. We then had to go to a grocery store to get food (liquids) for all the extra days we will be here - the 23 day pre-op diet was bad enough, but now..... oh well. I also had an accute gallbladder attack today, so Mom and I had to go to an emergency room for that. What fun!! I am dissapointed that I won't be getting my band tomorrow, but... not much I can do about it. Our hotel suite is nice and I think we are safe, so....... The Great Houston Journey continues. My new surgery date is September 18th!! Keep your fingers crossed for me. I've heard of people naming their bands - mine is a no brainer - Ike :sad: Becky

I'm SO GLAD you posted! Is your hospital downtown in the medical center area? My SIS lives in Pasadena and is riding out the storm!

So now I have 2 of you there to worry about! :sad:

Sorry you're stuck but glad you'll be safe!

OH and is the doc going to remove your gall bladder when he does the band? You won't even miss it if he does (except no more painful attacks, that is)

Becky!

Hi, its susan from indy. I was wondering about you in Houston, I will pray for you. My surgery went smoothly. My biggest pains have been in my shoulders. I have been taking Aleve for that along with the hydrocodene they gave me. I love my band so far. I lost 14 lbs pre diet and am excited to see how much I will lose when I go back in two weeks. I had 1/2 cup of chili pureed today for lunch and that stayed down well. Also really concentrating on gettting in enough Water. Let me know how you do
