Sofficial 162 Posted February 9, 2014 Hi everyone, I just got my date not to long ago. February 19th Yay!!! Getting close! Have you started your pre-op diet? Are you feeling okay? The 19th will be here before you know it! Yes I'm feeling great so ready to get this journey started! I've been ordered to start my pre op diet on the 12th, so only one week...that's not bad.

David4040 7 Posted February 9, 2014 Surgery on Monday! I'm still nervous but ready. Hope there are no complications. Can someone tell me what to expect in the hospital and first week home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencovi 261 Posted February 9, 2014 I will. I'm also taking a huge bottle of Water and a shake in an insulated cup. Yes. I will look strange and I'm okay with that. Ok. Took my water but not my Protein Shake. Ended up eating some carrots with hummus and then at Olive Garden (only went because I drove my friend and it was her grandpas funeral) I had one bowl of Soup. Their soup isn't healthy at all. But better than pastas and breadsticks. Which smelled great and were hard to stay away from! 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeighAnneF 98 Posted February 9, 2014 Uggg, sleep study came back positive for sleep apnea. I have to go sat night to have them determine what the settings will need to be on it , then they will order it. If I don't have my machine by the 17th the may postpone my surgery on 2-18. For those who also have this, how long did it take for you to get your CPAP machine? Also, had my endoscopy today, it went well, no hernias or anything, so that's good. I am getting so excited about this, not having any problems on the liquid diet other than a slight headache in the mornings that goes away once I eat. Hope everyone is doing well Leigh Anne I got it about a week after my test. Find out which medical supply company your doc uses and who takes your insurance (only 2 companies in a 60 mile radius of Nashville took Aetna - crazy, I know). Call tomorrow and set up an appointment for early next week. I see a lot of posts that people don't have to take their CPAP to the hospital since it's a short stay but I'm now at the point I don't sleep well without it. Do they say why they would delay it? I thought it was more for insurance approval rather than needing to use it. Good luck! Thanks, I did see the surgeon yesterday, and he said that if I don't have it by then, it will NOT delay my surgery. I am 100% on go!!!!! It may have been the sleep dr trying to scare me. He was a jerk the whole time. Complaining he didn't have enough time to treat me before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
