The Dreaded Day of clear liquids the day before the Surgery …. I’m not sure why they think a fat person can actually not eat in one 24 hour period, but whatever. If we could do that, we wouldn’t be fat, right? Of course … that’s not necessarily true, I’ve gained weight just [...]

My cold is getting Better, So I hope my Surgery date is still Monday 2/23/09 ,,,
Now, if I can just get through the Sunday’s clear liquids day and if I get the Shower instructions right, and If I don’t forget and accidentally take any Medicines Monday, I should be ready to go.
I have to admit [...]

I have a bad cold right now and I’m worried it may postpone my surgery. After all of the stuff I had to go through to get to the surgery date, I will just die if I have to wait again. Cross your fingers for me.

4 Weeks to the day from my surgery and I get a call for More Test …. I wouldn’t think they would have any thing more to look at. I’m starting to feel like a lab rat. Come to think of it, I do like cheese.
Anyway, they penciled in a Chest X-ray & some Blood [...]

Ok …. I Guess I am …. 46 Days to go.
It’s kind of nice that Bonnie has had her surgery, cause now I can see close up how it’s going to be.
It’s like having my own personal test pilot without having to crash and burn myself. What a good Daughter she is …. Of course, [...]

Well, I guess I had better feel you in on what Bonnie is up to, since she hasn’t updated her blog for awhile. Since I was hung up with my problem, Bonnie is now way ahead of me. She is no longer having the Lap Band she has changed to the Gastric Bypass Surgery. Personaly I’m [...]

OK … This little fat girl has managed to jump through the last of the required “Hoops” for Doctor’s group # 2.
I called my Coordinator and told her I had finished the “Doctor’s Talk” or as I like to call it, Hoop 3 of Group 2. She started with her “what happens next” speech as if she [...]
