Ok ,well after seeing how important everyone elses blogs are to me and how much information I have recieved through them. I will do my best to chart my expreiance. I am 3 days pre-op GB schduled on 8-28-08 in Fresno ca. very nervous, this is not my first surg not sure why so jittery I think because this has the abillity to be so life changing. After struggling all my life with food and weight to have the possibility of relating to food in a diffrent way. To hopfully look down the road at not being the biggest person in the room male of female is beyond hope. I have not been instructed to do much of a prep. NPO @ 2400 noc before. Clear liq day before. No laxitive. I have pre reg at the hospital and had my last appt with surgeon my current weight is 320 oh I can't believe I actually put that in writting so it could be seen. The universe my have been tilted with that unexcpected event. Tomorrow will be my last day at work for a short while I do medical billing and will not be able to be gone long. No a physical job at all.So I hope I can at least come back next week a couple of times to send out charges. We will have to see. I am very blessed with a supportive husband and children hope they know I couldn't take this path with out them. Well I will leave it at this for now. Thank you to all the worriers that are fighting this battle with me I will be praying for you all as I know you will be for me.

Karrie,
Your blog is inspirational and please be strong. This is exciting. This will be life changing in so many wonderful ways. Please make sure you take enough time to let yourself fully heal. I understand if if it is done laproscoptic, it is still major surgery. I can't wait to hear back from you. You can help me get ready for my 10/6 date. God bless from Ivana ( real name Malinda from San Francisco) |

It is done. GB done Thursday @ 3:00. It was better than I expected I got out of the hospital Friday @ 6:00pm went to my sons house and stayed until this morning. We drove home today Sunday and everything is going great. I am really tired and sleep allot. The liq stay down fine I have had no nausea and very little pain. Drinking the fluids feels kinda like when you eat to fast and there is not enough room for something to go down seems more like a gentle reminder. At first each drinking caused a small amount of cramping. I was told to stop my blood sugar meds before leaving the hospital. YAHHOO I do not feel shakey as I did prior if I missed a meal with my diabetes. It was more of a major surgery than I expected but tolerable. I had it done at Fresno Heart Hopsital by Dr.Higa. I recommend him to anyone. Dr.Higa does not recommend any protein supplements as he says they will slow weight loss be cause at this point they would only be used as calories for energy and not as protien. So I am only on Clear liq for the first week. I go see him again on Thursday. Well I am getting sleepy. I will check in later. God Bless to all
