Wow, close! Hang in there, Kim! Being a bit nervous is quite normal.

I was nervous but joked my way through it to look tough for my wife. She saw through my humor smokescreen, of course.

All I had to do was blood work and get all paperwork completed so there is less to do the morning of. I thought I was gonna have an EKG but I don't have any other issues so I was good to go! I know a lot of people do have to get EKG's. I was in and out in about 1 hour!!! I am so ready. Even found out that it will be at 7:30AM, bad news I have to be there at 5:30AM

That's a good time to be there! Doctor's are fresh and if they've had their coffee, wide awake and ready to do their thing.

An hour! Wow! I was told my pre-op meeting would be 4 hours at least!

Either way in excited! I start my two P shakes a day and a good dinner on Saturday.

Good luck to you!

Lucky you. No sensible dinner for me. I am on a two week liquid diet

I only have one day of Clear Liquids and that's the night before surgery and I am so okay with that! lol.

I had an EKG in April @ my physical......I was told I needed an EKG before surgery/approval by a cardiologist clearing me for surgery.....so I had one in May......this week at my pre-op appointment, they told me I have to have another because that's too far out.....I wish they'd have told me to schedule the cardiologist appointment closer to the surgery date.....what a waste, ya know?

So I have an appointment on Tues. @ the hospital for pre-op testing....they'll do an EGK, blood work, and a chest X-ray. Plus I'll meet with the anesthesiologist.

Congrats to you Kim, I'm having my surgery on Monday the 29th and I did my labs on Thursday. I'm feeling the same way as you are now. God bless and good luck.
