Good morning!
It's 7:45 am and I am ready to leave for the hospital. I haven't had solid food for 24+ hours and nothing to drink since about 9:30 last night. The scale this morning read 247.1, which means I lost a total of 30.5 pounds with all the pre-operative stuff that was required. I was hoping for more, but I think I did well. It took almost exactly six months for this process but I made good use of the time. I think what I was most surprised about was all the pre-op testing that was needed. Especially considering I had normal blood pressure, no diabetes (or even pre-diabetes), was able to do vigorous exercise and had been seeing multiple doctors regularly. Oh well, it was their money (and my time!).
This morning, I mostly feel excited. I know I am going to be very sore when I get home tonight. I also know I will probably have a lot of trouble eating anything for a couple weeks. It's that process I plan to write about here. So, I'll talk to you again when I've been banded!
