Well I went for my testing yesterday, and got a little bad news, but I dont think it is anyhting that will stand in the way of my goal! So I had to be there @ 7:30 am which meant I had to get up @ 6am ughhhh! :confused:Anyhow I made it to the hospital and did all my registration, they actually went ahead and did everthing so when I go in on the 17th for the actual surgery all I have to do is check in on the 2nd floor. Anyhow I had to do the Chest X-ray first which was no biggie, then I had to do the Upper GI, OMG:eek:...first of all your stomach is empty then they give you this little fizzy cup of liquid which makes you want to burp, but they tell you DONT BURP, then you stand in front of this table with this big flat camera infront of you, and you have to drink this liquid which taste like chalk and slighly watered down 7-up and it has the consistancy of yougart only a little thicker, they tell you to drink....keep drinking....keep drinking, and then all of a sudden they tell you stop and hold your breath! It took all I had in me not to vomit all over that man and that table, but I made it through then they lay the table down flat and tell you to roll around the object of the game is to let the white liquid coat your stmach so they can make sure that everything is working the way it's suppose to in there. Then they take more pics and your done with that part....I personally went in the bathroom and exscuse my language but puked it all up:sleep: it was soooo disgusting...good thing I carry a toothbrush abd toothpaste around with me where ever I go!!! Next I had to get a EKG, and 3 viles of blood taken which is were the kinda bad news comes in the nurse who was very funny and friendly told me that my heart beats weired, she said that the electrodes that tell my heart to beat do not do so in a rythym like most people's do my electrodes go fast at times and then slow at others.....but I am not claiming any sickness! By his stripes I am healed!! After my EKG I headed over to Dr. Hamns office for another little 10min test were they put a clip on my nose and asked me to breathe through this tube, the nurse said it was testing to see what my resting metabolism was which I told her was zero.....Over all the testing was not as nearly bad as I though it would be and to God be the Golry there is nothing that is going to stop me get this done, now all I have to do is go for my preop-meeting with Dr. Hamn and start my preop diet on the 13th!! I Am so excited!!:cursing:
