I'm pushing for August! I have nutrition this friday and psych next thursday. Hopefully both will send reports to my surgeon in a resonable about of time, so they can submit to insurance for approval. I am really really keeping my fingers crossed.

Lyss, I have my surgery date the same day as you! And I'm scared as hell since I've never had any kind of surgery ever before.

My date is Aug. 3. Which is my mom's birthday. I was given a July date but I wanted to enjoy my 2nd wedding anniversary which is Aug 1. and hubby's bday is the 2nd. It feels so far away that I want to switch back but I'll wait!

The GI series was the worse test I took! They give you this white liquid to drink that is thick, pasty, and disgusting. You have to drink it while you have about 50 xrays taken! But its done, over with and well worth it!

The sleep study is a breeze. All you have to do is sleep . The Gi Series is the worse of the worst for me. They make you drink this pasty liquid that taste.........pasty! You have to keep drinking it as they take a series of xrays of it traveling down your system. It felt like torture because it was the most horrible thing to drink.......EVER! I almost was sick on several occassions. *To subdue the taste try bringing chocolate mix to make it taste better. Its something the doctor may approve but don't tell you*
