My husband and I are having ours done together this summer.I am waiting 2 Weeks after his surgery to do mine. Hoping that will give him enough time to heal enough to help me post op. Any other couples that have done it together? Suggestions?

So change of plans, my husband started the police academy and has lost alot of wieght and looks great (I always thought so anyway). As for me, my surgery is finally scheduled, September 10th.. Excited and nervous at the same time. More nervous about missing work, I think. Anyway... That is my bit for the day.. Any tips for my week long, pre op liquid diet?

My surgery is finally scheduled! September 10th.. ! Woot woot!

I guess I just need to hear that the pain is bearable and will be worth it..

YAY! I recieved my approval letter in the mail yesterday from my insurance! All left to do now is schedule the suegery. Why am I nervous now? Anyone else felt that way?

Sweety, let that roll off of your back... I will tell you now that shallow people like that are miserable people... Her marriage won't last with that self centered way of thinking.

Went in yesterday morning for my EGD. I told my doctor my concerns and told her how extremely emotional I am about my"what ifs". I am so glad I did. She put me at ease real fast. (Her husband is 6 Weeks post op, and is also doing very well.) I really like my Dr., she is awesome and I believe her to be very genuine. EGD, went well BTW. All that is left now is to get final approval from the insurance company.

Is it normal to be nervous and emotional about everything? Or am I worrying for nothing?

Not sure if he thought I would..I told him before we went in that I was going too..lol

I figured she would think I was sick for asking, but she decided to share more than I needed to know. And the classic part was that my husband was sitting in with me and she couldn't look at him anymore. Lmao! I am all about the shirt idea! Ha ha!

Ok everyone..I just left my dietician's appointment and I promised you all that I would ask her take on swallowing the sweet man nector (lmao)... She said that you would have to swallow alot to benefit any nutritional value. Lol DONE! Lucky hubby!! Lol

My husband and I are at the end of our pre-op check list.. We Have our EEG's this Saturday and we will be ready to schedule surgery dates a week later. But, I guess knowing that it will be a while before I can have my favorite foods, I have been eating more than I ever have. I know I wont have a problem changing my diet once the Doctor schedules my surgery, but I just want to know is this normal? I feel almost like I havent had to really watch my diet as much because help is on the way... Then I feel so guilty... Anyone else have this issue before surgery?

I appologize everyone, that last post from me was not suppose to go under the topic, my phone acting silly.
