Very Outgoing person who lives everday like its her last one!!!!!!!
05/20/04 well today I went to a support group meeting for bariatric patients along with my husband. He is very supportive however he holds this fear that something bad is going to happen to me due to the surgery , I felt that if I took him he would get some of his questions answered only I think it frightened him more. Some of the very nice people assured me along with Dr. Marcus assured him that it is normal to be nervous and scaired. Well my surgery is only 11 days away, I can't say that I am not nervous but at the same time I am very excited to start my new life along with my family....
5/22/04 Today has been a very somber day. My best friends 8 yr old nephew passed away and his funeral was today. It was very hard because I didn't go at the support group meeting I told them what had happened and how I was nervous because how I had been feeling about the whole situation and Dr.Marcus suggested that I pass on the funeral so I offered to watch my best friends little ones 2 boys, 4 and 2 while they went which she was ok with that and I had also told her that this was the advise taht was given by the support gp members, other than that I am trying to get my house cleaned up get all the stuff that I will need to have after I come home from the surgery... Very excited surgery 9 days away!!!!!!!!! 5/31/04

5/31/04 Well todays been pretty good I took the citrate of magnesia at 1pm. ohh!!! am I hurting tasted like a salty sprite not to bad. Today my husband insisted on me not doing a thing but to get rest. He is still very worried, last night he made me a cd of all the love songs we used to listen to as we dated starting 19 yrs ago and he held me and cried. I hate it that he is so nervous and he feels like something bad will happen to me from the surgery. I tell him to just pray, and that I am in gods hands and that I'm going to be fine and that we are going to grow old together. Well everyone surgery is at 630am in the morning gotta get up at 5-530 I'll update when I'm feelin good when I get home... Thanks for the Support!!!!!
6/07/04 Wow this has been a really ruff week, I did ask myself at 1 time what did I do to my self. Well I spent 3 days in the hospital. Went home and the pain was so intense the pain meds that I was taking was causing me to have very bad headaches so Dr Rodriguez decreased the meds which helped, well 4 more days had passed and I went to the dr today where he took my staples out and the awful drain that had me feeling really low after that was removed I went from 50 % crappy to 80 % I felt so much better from having to be be brought in on wheelchair to walking out from the office with my family and the best of all I lost 13lbs in the first week that is so exciting. I love being a loser!!!!!
