Welcome to my new Blog. I am new at this and i have some fine tuning to do, but I’m ready to continue my weight loss journey.
I went through 6 months of trying to lose weight for my upcoming surgery and now it was finally here! So many emotions and thoughts went through my head. Was I doing the right thing, will I really be thin, what if I die? I have to say it was scary!
I was scheduled for surgery on Friday, August 10, 2012. I packed a few things and my friend Patti drove me and my mom to the hospital. I hate needles, so I was a nervous wreck! We arrived at the hospital and I was led to an area full of overweight people all waiting to have some sort of weight loss surgery. It was pretty quiet. I made friends with 2 young women who were having surgery that day also. One was having the Lap Band and the other was having Gastric Bypass just like I was. We were talking and joking when all of a sudden I heard my name. This was it.
A nurse escorted me back to where they were going to prep me for surgery. I wanted to tell them I changed my mind, but I had come to far to quit now. I got into the finest hospital gown that my insurance could afford and got on the table to weight for the vampires. I mean nurses. The nurse finally came in with my needle for the IV and I reluctantly gave them my arm. Actually she had to fight me for my arm! she finally got the IV in and I waited for the drugs to knock me out. In came the anesthesiologist and out I went. It was time1
I woke up in the recovery room. Nurses were scrambling. My blood pressure was through the roof! I thought something went wrong. This shouldn’t be. I kept drifting in and and out of sleep. When I finally woke up I was in my room. I was alone and all those emotions and thoughts came back into my head. Well I didn’t die! Then I thought about not being able to undo what was done. I thought about never being able to eat anything again. Then it hit me! Oh My! I am going to be THIN!!! I started to cry!
