Three days and a wakeup Now! I did ok in my numb state till i saw my Surgeon yesterday late afternoon.He asaked me how are you doing and I started balling my eyes out. That was it my nice numb feelings were gone they were replaced by monting anxeity and impatience. It was so bad that he perscribed for me a anti-anxeity.I am so full of emotions.I can not belive That on Monday morning I will wake up and leave for the hospital! I have already woken today so I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to go thru, and Monday shouldn't count.Ok I have to get off here now untill tonight when I get my perscription filled. Bye

Ok 4 days and a wake up now! I am seeing Dr Homan for the last time before my surgery.I also am going to the patient eduaction group this evening. It all starts for me today at 2:24 PM. Tomorrow I take care of my will and funeral planning(just in case) then finally I have the CPAP people coming Friday. The weekend goes by fast usally so before I know it the date I have been waitring for 6 months will finally be here. If I had to wait 3 more months it would have been long enough to have a baby. I am still very numb and not nearly as excited as i figurged I would be. Well good day and here is to 4 days and a wake Up

I know by now most of you most be absoltely bored with my countdown but I can not help it. However I must say a certain numbness has setteled in. Yesterday at 11:30 which is when I am supposed to go under the knife. I looked at the clock. The realization I would be under the knife hit me deeply. That is when a certain numbness hit me a quietness. It is as if I am in a quiet somber mood. I am aware it is comming but I feel a strength that I have never felt before. The tears are gone and all that is left is a strong quietness I only remember having when I was giving birth. Well here is to 5 days and a Wake Up!

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side. PS. If you check out my web page, be sure to sign the guest book there. Thanks.

I my Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( I say scratching my head in the (classic Shirley Temple Style)it's now 7 days and a wake up before my surgery.Next week I will be getting my before pictures professionally done and I will be preparing to have my last meal. I am in awe, I have dreamed about being a reasonably healthy weight again as long as I could ever remember... I have banged myself against the wall of my weight so long that I am emotionaly blooded and beat up stump.I have been a freak for longer than I can tell.(peoples taunts and jeers are the worst) My health has deteriated to the point That I feel I am staring down the barrel of a Gun.Over time and vain attempts to change it I began to feel hopeless to do anything about it. And then as if whimsical fantasies were indeed true.... Poof an answer showed up. Did I dare to believe this could be true? That has been my qestion recently. After all Nothing this good ever seems to come true, that is until my husband came into my life. The closer I get the more hope I am feeling!!! The more Hope The more excitement!!!!! Today I feel excited... Today i am hoping... Today I am dreaming again that one day I will be able to walk , and run , and jump,to be able to hike and backpack, canoe { and why not, run an marathon,climb a glacier,orride a horse, ortravel the skys)***Tears***. To be able to walk down a road and not have stares to be in a social function and not have someone say "You have such a pretty Face you'd be so pretty if..." To not have people say "I'd love to let you ride this ride but someone your size can't fit and it will make it dangerously unstable" To not be the freak for just one!!! To be invited into the Normal weighted people club. I don't want to be skinny just average.God has granted my wish it seems. I will know for sure on next Monday, when i wake p from surgery and I feel the pain! To another that first inital pain may be a thing to dread. For me ,as it stands now, that pain will be a reminder that something did happen. That they did do the surgery. That they didn't at the last minute decide not to do the surgery on me. I know I will have a lot of adjustments to do, but it is worth the price to join the thin club. I am brave, always have been, I can go thru the emotional stuff,especially since I am already in Therapy and my Sureon has a exxcellent after care program with a wonderful support group system.It is the pysical aspects that make this process so difficult. It is very discourageing to try to lose when you Lose twenty pounds and then the body fights you, soon you gain the twenty pounds and gain another 10. Yuck! Well thanks for listening to me ramble!!! 7 Days and a Wake Up!
