My approval for surgery

It's been a while since I've posted anything but nothing has really happened in my life.

 

Well that was until last Thursday, March 24th. After school my mom had recieved a phone call from my nurse and she had said, finally, that I was approved. I was shocked that I didn't have to do the two week diet but instead my doctor told me to eat as much as I can, while I can. And I have to say, I have.

 

I had to do the pre-admission testing yesterday, along with a small hour long class that just went over the procedure and they gave me a grocery list. My surgery is tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital 2 pm which isn't too fun since I can't have anything but jell-o (not red or purple) and other clear, non-acidic liquids on Wednesday and nothing to drink after midnight (and no eating.)

 

I've already made my list of the things I'm going to take. I'm able to get a private room, along with my own personal nurse. I'm a little nervous, of course, but most people have said that it is possible. I'm excited to see how everything goes!

Hi Kourtany

I go in on April 4th for mine, it will be fun to follow how you do since are dates are so close. I am only allowed 4 EAS drinks and a lean Cuisine per day. I also go in to the hospital at 11am and leave at 4 pm the same day as long as everything went ok. Let me know how you do.........................
