    Surgery Dates for July

    Alright! I knew there had to be more of us lol. I start my 2 week optifast diet on 7/9. This is feeling more real as it gets closer but I have so many appts. Scheduled before the surgery, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the time I have to take off from work. I have a 2 hour exercise class, a 4 hour education class, preop testing appt, optifast class and a final appt with the surgeon. These are all on different days. This with the time off for surgery will wipe out all of my leave time but I think it is worth it. .

    So nervous

    Glad u r doing ok!
  9. Hi everyone. Ever since I got my date I have been worrying about weird things about the surgery. I have terribly hard veins to find. It's so bad I was sent home when I went for blood work bc they couldn't get one. I had to come back another day. For my stress test, egd etc they have done the IV in my hand. Has anyone had the IV in your hand for surgery? Thanks

    Where was your IV ?

    Thanks so much for the responses and advice. I try to drink tons of water before and have run my arm under warm water but never thought of asking for a warm compress. I will definitely ask and am going to bring one with me to the preop bloodwork. When I woke up from my last surgery I had bandages on both forearms and my right hand. The IV was in my left hand.

    Surgery Dates for July

    I started this process in January, finished everything in April and am still waiting for a date. My program is very slow. I had hoped for surgery in April, then May, and then June. Now I am praying for July! Hopefully I will be with you guys on the loser's bench.
  17. Did you drink a lot of caffeine? I know when I quit caffeine before I had massive headaches and felt terrible but it does get better.
  18. I'm still preop and this is a major concern for me. My knees are my biggest problem and I use meloxicam and voltaren gel. I'm supposed to be able to keep using the voltaren gel after surgery.

    Hi catiegirly. We're neighbors. Where are you having your surgery and do you have a date or did u already have it?
  22. I had to have the company that supplies my cpap send them the pressure. I had just had a recent titrate study within the past 6 months so I'm not sure if that made a difference.
