CarrieP 50 Posted March 17, 2013 Well it's almost here! Are you guys as nervous as i am?? This next cant go by fast enough. Have you completed your pre- op testing? What did you have to do? I gotta do some kind of swallowing test. Not too sure what else?? Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296 Posted March 17, 2013 I'm there with you! March 25 is right around the corner and I'm so excited! I am nervous about it but I think that is normal. I'm getting through this preop diet as well as I can. No cheating but man it has been tough. I'm glad to be finding some people that are having surgery the same day I am. We need to keep up with each other! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amyoung 4 Posted March 17, 2013 I'm 3/25 and really getting anxious. I started my pre diet on this past Wed and scheduled for pre op on this coming Wed and EDG on Friday. My surgeon requires and EGD anytime he's doing a sleeve. I was told I will have blood drawn, EKG and Swallow test. Not really sure what the swallow test is all about. When is your pre op?

BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296 Posted March 17, 2013 My pre-op testing is done. I did all of it this past Wednesday. I had an EGD bright and early then went for my physical exam, chest x-ray, EKG and labs. I'm not sure what the swallow test is either. I started my pre-op diet last Tuesday. My surgeon requires an EGD any time he does a sleeve too. My husband said the whole thing couldn't have taken more than 15 minutes. I don't remember a thing, ha ha ha!

lydafer 0 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm March 25th as well! Not too nervous, just anxious to have it over with and get on the path to wellness! I assume I start pre-op drinking tomorrow, as that's when I meet with the doctor for the last time before Monday. I anticipate I will be starving, but I just keep telling myself how it will all be worth it in the end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
