Surgery tomorrow morning at 7:15AM

[jessicakolman 3]

So tomorrow is my surgery. I have to be there at 5:15AM for 7:15 surgery. I'm sooo excited I could jump out of my skin. I feel like I've been waiting this for such a long time.

I know that this is not going to be a quick fix for me to lose this weight. This Lap Band is going to be used as a tool to help me. It took me some time to put on this weight, it will take just as long or longer to take it off.

I'm getting the surgery done by Dr. Paul Enochs of Cary Surgical Specialists of North Carolina. I'm very impressed with his work as I've done a lot of research on him. I actually work at the same hospital I'm having my surgery done at.

I want to personally say thank you to those that have helped me in the pre-operation msg board with any questions/concerns that I've had in the past. I can't believe I'm soon going to be post-op!!! Yay!!!

As I going through this journey I've documented it by using youtube as a video journal. Please check it out and subscribe if you can. -- YouTube - jlind4023's Channel

Thanks. I'm doing alright. Lots of bad gas. My stomach feels hard as a rock and kinda swollen. Taking Loritab for the pain and GasX for the gas. Have done a lot of walking to try to get rid of the pain from the gas. Woke up this morning in much stronger pain then yesterday. Do they often say the second day is the worst?

Anyway, I did document my surgery day if you would like to visit --

Thanks for asking!:thumbup:

The second day was the worst for me. I didn't have gas, but nausea/diarrhea. On the 3rd day I felt 100x better. I hope it's the same for you. Just hang in there!

Yeah I'm coming upon the second day.. Bad pain on the site of the incision. Bad gas pain. No nausea/diarrhea though. I'm actually constipated. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Thanks!
