jtickle 295 Posted June 3, 2014 3 weeks until my big day. Starting my pre-op diet today, because I want to meet my goal that I set for myself of being 300 or lower on the day of my surgery. I am not nervous or anything I have had a bunch of surgeries already. I am just ready to get it over with, I am tired of counting down the days. 3 amc2014, m_rose and Loveskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted June 3, 2014 I go for my preop testing this afternoon -- surgery Monday morning. That is if insurance cooperates -- I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday that insurance needed a copy of my sleep study report from last year. They already had a clearance letter from the pulmonologist and I've been on cpap for a year but they were asking for one more piece of info. I'm praying this doesn't mean my surgery is going to get denied after pre-approval. Send happy thoughts my way. 1 Loveskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masonjk38 22 Posted June 3, 2014 @chrisglowers Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zelda205 30 Posted June 3, 2014 well I had my surgery yesterday and I am amazed by the pain I have. They keep telling me its gas, but it feels like I am getting stabbed. Hope this doesn't last long. Will be coming home today. Chrisflowers.. I was told that pain could be gas but also from all the poking and prodding they do on the left side. Get up and walk walk walk...
