Seeing The Psych..................................

I am so excited. I see the psych on August 1st and after that I get my appt with the surgeon to set up my date for surgery. The whole process has gone faster than I ever imagined. I am nervous, scared, a little anxious, but more so excited about the new me that will be emerging soon. What are some of the things you are feeling as you get closer to your surgery.

Piercings............................................

I have quite a few piercings, some you can see and some that are let's just say.............................I am very fond of them*lol* . Is it true that I have to take them ALL out for my surgery? I heard that I can put retainers, but don't know if that is true or not, please advise.

Almost There....................................

I wanted to share some good news with y'all. When I go see my NUT on the 21st of this month, I am going to meet with my surgeon also. It looks like all my paper work is in order and I get to sign the consent forms for my surgery the same day. So after I sign the forms they send them to my insurance company and about a week or so after that, I should have a surgery date. I am so excited talk about being one step closer. You guys please pray and send me positive thoughts that all goes as plans.

One Step Closer..................................................

Hey guys how are you all doing out there? I was just sitting here thinking about this journey I have started on May 21st, and how smooth the progress is going along, and God is good all the time. I feel sorry for those who doesn't realize that. Tuesday I go to my PCP and they are going to take an EKG, no worries, nothing is wrong it is just routine . My surgeon told me if I get a copy of it, I won't have to take another one on their end which is wonderful, so that means other than getting my appt for the pysch all my test will be completed.   So this had me thinking.............................do you realize that each thing we do gets us one step closer to reaching our goals and to having surgery, and that is just a great feeling. With this said if any of you are feelin discouraged, please don't give up because your time is going. Every little step we take is really a huge one if we look at it. I so can't wait to be on the LOSERS bench, and just wanted to share this feeling with you. Continued blessings. :wub:

Why Pre-Op?

Do everyone have to go on a pre-op diet before surgery, and if so for how long? Also why does the liver have to be shrunk before hand?
