41 hours from now...

[apple-saucy 17]

I will be taken into the OR and have most of my stomach removed. Am I crazy?

What should I expect from the surgery prep?

YAYYYYY! CONGRATS!

I walked into a bay or hallway with comfy lounge chairs and curtains to separate then. I changed into the surgical gown (nada on underneath) some comfy purple socks with raised tread on bottom so you don't slip (provided by hospital) and the cap for your hair.

The nurse started an IV and the anesthesiologist came in to talk to me about what she would be doing.

When it was time I walked on my own into the operating room and plopped myself on the table. The assisting doctor said hi and asked me my name and what surgery I was having.. then not long after that it was a few deep breaths and I was out..

I don't even remember the recovery room or even when I woke up in my regular room..

hope that helps... I had my surgery at Kaiser Richmond

Good luck to you !!!!!
