Slim Lola Slim 30 Posted January 9, 2014 Congrats to those who got their dates, hang in there fit those on the pre-op diet and let's do this for this having surgery soon! I had my pre-op appt Wednesday, blood work, ekg and final weigh-in. I was of by 1 kg so I basically made goal. I have surgery in 5 hrs. I tried to sleep but no dice. I had to take a double shower with Descutan an antimicrobial soap and will take one more before I leave to the hospital. Also had to give myself a heparin shot, the needle was nothing but the injection burned a little. Packed my bag, journaled and now just trying to sleep and wait. Oh and I will take 5 prophylactic antibiotics before I go too. I'll only stay one night and visiting hrs are dumb from 3pm-7pm. So I'll be alone majority of the time. Not really afraid, just anxious to get it over with so I can start healing. I'm hoping pain won't be too bad as they don't give an Rx for pain meds, it's Tylenol after discharge home. Got all that, lol! Sorry it's so long... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
