Today I went to Dr. Chung's office to get the JP taken out. And I was so worried that it would hurt. I mean HELLO they are pulling something out of you body while you are lucid. But actually, it didn't hurt one bit. But I will tell you that it is the weirdest feeling in the world. I could actually feel it moving inside my stomach as it was coming out. But I have to say what a difference it made with it out. For the past week I felt hunched over because it hurt to stand straight up, but after the drain was taken out I had no problems. And a lot of my pain in my left side went away. Now, I am not saying I am not still sore, but a lot of the pain has gone. I guess I just didn't realize that the JP was the cause of it. So today is a great day. Also today is great because I have now been off my meds for 24 hours, so now I can drive. Yeah!!!!!! I weighed in today and I have lost 11 pounds. 22 pounds total if you count what I lost during my pre-op liquid diet. Tomorrow I take my measurment. I will make sure to post them.

Well today I am actually starting to feel a lot better. My JP drain comes out tomorrow. YEAH!!!! It is really annoying to have. I am starting to eat a lot better. Even though I found out I hate my protien shakes, I am going to have to find a new one. I have been sleeping in my bed, which is nice but I am so tired of laying on my back. I am a side/tummy sleeper so my back has been killing me. I am trying to wean myself of painkillers. I take maybe two a day now. Tomorrow, I hope I will be down to only one, then none. Does anyone have trouble sleeping at night, I do. And it is driving me crazy. I woke up at 5:30 this morning and could not go back to sleep. Then around 9:00 I was in a lot of discomfort and soooo tired. I took a nap till around 11. I so far have lost 13 pounds. I hope that is good. I just want to feel normal again, and I can't wait to start walking. I am so excited of the future to come.

Hello everyone,

Today I made it home safely. The Dr. said I went through the surgery with flying colors. I am still kinda out of it with the meds, so hopfully  in a few days I can write more. Just wanted to let everyone now that I am okay!!!

Yesterday was my Pre-Op appt. and I think it went pretty well. I arrived at Dr. Chungs office around 8:30am and the ball rolled from there. I then went to the hospital were I will be having my surgery, and got my chest x-ray, ultrasound and EGD done. I done with everything around 12:45pm. I was suprised at how fast it went. Everything looked good, and I got the go ahead for the surgery. I am going to be third in line for the 2nd. My surgery time is 9:00am. I am feeling so many emotion right now. I get excited, then nervous, then kinda numb. I know it sound crazy, but I am actually scared that I will have this surgery, and I won't loss any weight. Crazy I know. But, I am so tired of being overweight, that I am just getting scared that I will always stay like this. Well, I guess that is all for now.

Well, not much going on today. I am just waiting for my surgery. Jan 2nd can't come soon enough. I have to call in the middle of this month and start my pre-op work. I am excited and scared at the same time. I guess people are always scared of the unknown. Well, I guess I will update later.

Well, my surgery date has changed from Dec. 19th to 2nd of Jan. My hubby was supposed to be with me for it, but he got deployed. So now my sweet mother-in-law is coming to be with me. The only good thing is, now when hubby come home from deployment. He is going to get the shock of his life (hehehe). So wish me luck.

Well it is official I went to Dr. Chung office on the 1st of Nov and had my first appt. His staff was so nice, and the Dr. himself was so sweet. Well, anyways I went home with hopes. I got a call on Friday, the 3rd telling me that I was approved. I can't believe that it is really going to happen. Now I am kinda nervous and happy. My surgery date is set for the 19th of Dec. OMG that is soooo not far away. WOOOOHHH!!!!
