My last pre-op visit is now history...



Recommended Posts

I spent the day yesterday watching (more) videos, signing consent forms, asking lots of questions, talking to my nutritionist, and having some final pre-op testing done. I now have a nice bruise where they stuck me with a needle...I'm a "challenge" when it comes to drawing blood.

I have my marching orders. Surprisingly, no official pre-op diet until the day before surgery. Then, it's Clear liquids. But, the surgeon knows I'm already trying Protein shakes, cutting out carbs, and trying to lose some pounds before the surgery and it made him smile. He calmed any last nerves I had about my decision. And, he acknowledged that I'm ready.

So, I'm just counting down days to September 11. Then, my new life begins!
