well everythings good so far in some pain though -
Hey all I can't believe my surgery is only 11 hours away, I remember when I started all this in feb I thought the 6 months was gonna take forever and it actually flew by. Now I'm a little nervous that the time has come.
-
at the hospital checking in.. hope all goes well
-
My surgeon called me this morning to tell me the hospital wants medical clearance for surgery from my primary care Dr. The receptionist told me she was calling them as soon as his office opened and would call me back.She just wanted to let me know this was going on. Did this happen to anyone else? And shouldn't this have been figured out way before now im schedule for surgery in two days. I hope this doesn't delay things.

how long after you wake from surgery until they will give you some ice or some sips of water. my brother had surgery (not wls) and i remember it was awful for him his mouth was so dry.
-

And I've been on this damn clear liquid diet. it better go through lol
-
I called him and he asked if i had done all the blood work and pre op testing and i said that i had so he told me id be cleared by him. then when i called the surgeon back she said that she tried to call and just got a recording so she left a message and faxed him all my test results and the form he needed to sign. my Dr is old and slow i hope he gets it done today..
