Surgery is 8 days away - I can't believe it. I'm excited about the possibilities, and a little nervous - nothing has EVER worked long term...can I REALLY do it this time? The surgery itself isn't bothering me; I've had so many through the years, and this will be my first laparascopic, so it should be easier than most I've had.
I finished pre-op yesterday. Everyone at Emory Midtown is wonderful. I was exhausted though - I walked all over the hospital yesterday - Lobby to ground floor, up to 14th floor, down to 8th floor, down to 7th floor, down to 4th floor, down to ground floor, and finally back up to 2nd floor. Yes, there were elevators, but not all elevators go to all floors, so I had to get to the elevators. But I sure know my way around the hospital now!
Dave gave me a fuzzy blanket covered in hearts for Valentine's Day. They said I could bring that, and my fuzzy robe, too. They make me feel all warm and snuggly, and I'm guessing I will want to feel that after surgery. I will stay in the hospital overnight - barring complications. Then I will have two week's recovery time.
I will take a picture on the day of surgery to post...
Yes, make sure you keep before and after's of you. It sometimes takes up to 2 years before you can see yourself as others will. Sometimes I still see myself at 280 lbs, but I'm 72 lbs lighter now. Good luck my dear, everything will be fine. Can't wait to see your transformation!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can do it this time. I'm glad they made you feel good about where you will be having the surgery. Mom's surgery is the day after yours, so tell Dave to post on your blog so I can keep up with how you're doing. Lots of love and good luck wishes and don't forget I'll be here for you too!
