GOOD LUCK!!! You will be just find but better to be safe .. I went to my cardio dr. on my own the week before my surgery just to have peace of mind. I had some pains and got scared because i was going in for surgery and didnt want anything to happen. There wasnt anything wrong my EKG was fine but I just needed to feel safe. So dont you worry everything will work out.... ;)

I went yesterday to the cardiologist for my letter of recommendation and my heartbeat is to fast so he prescribed something to slow it down and also I am having a stress test done on Thursday, hopefully is nothing.

I got my stress test done two days before surgery! It was a dobutamine stress echo instead of the normal walking on the treadmill because I weighed too much (soon to change :) !). On top of that I had my PAT on that day as well! I cut it pretty close...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
