Apparently June was an uneventful month WLS-wise! lol I went through my Puritan's Pride catalog today and ordered all kinds of vitamins and protein supplements for post-op. HOW am I going to choke down these protein shakes?? Well, I just will. Maybe they will even taste good. (?? oh please let them taste good) Its really going to be different with me drinking all of my meals and my roommate Mandy still eating normal.

OMG! I got a call from Dr. Doxey's nurse today telling me my psych consult hadn't been received and, come to find out, my therapist will be out until August! Talk about stressed OUT. I did finally get things straightened out and my therapist is going to fax it tomorrow, but I sure was worried for several hours today.

Today my WLS twin Amanda had surgery, but I haven't been able to get in touch with her yet. I did talk to her roommate and he said she is doing ok, just that the pain is a little more than she may have anticipated. I'm glad she seems to be doing ok, though.
To update my situation... I have finally managed to get things squared away with guest services so that Stephanie will have somewhere reasonably priced to stay while I'm in the hospital. I'm still really hoping my mom will come, but I can't figure out if she wants to be there or not. She said today she just doesn't want to worry me if she gets sick or upset by seeing me in pain. I told her hopefully I'll be drugged up enough that neither one of us will notice I'm in any pain at all! lol Really, though, I just can't imagine doing this without my mom. I hope she can make it. I also have my pre-op labwork scheduled for this Friday with my PCP. I have to get all of the results, the chest x-ray, and the EKG to take with me to Dr. Doxey's next week. NEXT WEEK?? How did it get this close? This is starting to feel like reality...
