mom2lucky (suznc) 81 Posted November 8, 2012 Had my preop today. Had an EKG, chest X-ray, 10 tubes of blood for baseline labs. After all that, went to see the doc & he will write me out for 4 weeks (thru Christmas!!). No liquid diet but must be on low fat diet 2 weeks before. No gravy on the turkey!

newlife4leah 73 Posted November 8, 2012 Suznc that is awesome! I have my preop tests tomorrow with my primary care physician.... oddly I'm more nervous for that then surgery... I hate blood draws! the countdown really is in, isn't it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peachee213 67 Posted November 8, 2012 I had pre-op today. I was so nervous but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Video, Consent forms, blood draws, group class, meeting with surgeon and anesthesiologist (sp). I wanted to try going back to work after a week and a half but my surgeon says no sooner than 2 weeks and 3 at the most! I think I'm going to go stir crazy at home. So it looks like I possibly won't be back to work until December. Time is certainly flying! How are all our November Post-Op sisters doing? 1 cookier224 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspl 161 Posted November 8, 2012 November post-op ladies, you are rockin it! Keep up the great work! Cannot wait to join you on the other side! Only 8 more days!!!!!!!!! Got the approval call on Monday, spoke with the hospital's pre-registration today. I'm kinda Zen right now. It's strange, I have absolutely no desire to eat the world. I am actually repulsed by food for the last 2 weeks. Maybe it's my way to psyching myself into this LOL Keep the updates coming!!! 1 peachee213 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillyBell 36 Posted November 8, 2012 Hey, everyone! I haven't posted much but I've been keeping up with everyone through my emails. You all are such an amazing group. So supportive. Best wishes to everyone on their way in and speedy recovery to those coming out! I had my pre-op today. It went well. Biggest surprise? Found out I'll be recovering in a luxury hotel suite. LOL Sweet. I'm almost more excited for that. To those already on the bench, thanks for keeping us posted. I'll do the same when my turn comes around (13th). I also saw some posts about what folks are drinking. Crystal Light has some great new ( to me) flavors: Mojito, Margarita, and Appletini to change it up a bit. YUM!!! Yay for Appletini. I'm just sayin'... Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 cookier224 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
