Offically got my insurance approval and the OK to schedule my egd and surgery.....Now just waiting to hear from the hospital/insurance co about what my out of pocket costs will be. I've heard everything from 2,000-7,000. If it's over 4,000 I will probably head to TJ.

Hi fellow June Sleevers!

I had my pre-op appts on Mon., May 20th. All went well. I'm all set for June 4th! I was very surprised to learn I did not have to do a liquid pre-op diet. My surgeon never mentioned it and I keep hearing about it on this board, so I asked him about it. He said, no. Just keep doing what I'm doing. Don't go on any binges, etc. I was very excited about that. The only "problem" I had was when when I did my labs. I got my blood drawn and I was in the hall about ready to get on the elevator when I felt something wet on my arm. I looked down and my arm was gushing blood. There was a bathroom right there so I stepped in and washed my arm off and put pressure on it. It reminded me of those old SNL skits where Dan Ackroyd plays Julia Child and keeps cutting himself and blood squirts everywhere! Anyway, I was able to stop the bleeding and all is well. I was just worried because I had a few more stops and didn't want to gross anyone out if it started up again!

I think it finally hit me when I had to sign my life away in pre-admitting. Wow, I'm really having surgery!

Best of luck to us all and may our road to recovery be a speedy one!

As June 3 gets closer, I'm trying to get everything done. sleep study was Friday. Spent the weekend housecleaning, will do the same next weekend. PCP appointment on Thursday, and at some point I'll be picking up the CPAP... dunno when, but they want me to have it. I did well in the titration study, though, so we'll see. Now I can be Mommy Vader!

I guess I'll need to start my sewing classes in August...

Havent tried that one...ive tried barwise all flavors...asvised incomplete Protein so stopped that (was given to me so no $ wasted thank goodness) nectur all flavors...not so great but could be worse....premier chocolate and vanilla its ok can only drink 2 a day per dietician has lots of metals so im staying away from those...and then some Walmart stuff my husband picked up...unsure of the name but its strawberry and not too bad
