At the hospital waiting room for my pre op

Just got back from spending the day at the hospital too. Lab work and a preop nutrition class today. How did the endoscopy go?

Yay I did it! The gastroscopy went amazing! They acually put me to sleep and I felt no discomfort at all except for the freezing spray they sprayed into my throat (thought I had better gag reflexes than that ekkk gross) lol all went well with the whole pre op though, now the waiting game May 28th I am READY for you

Yea, I know you are relieved that is over! I know I will be freaked out too when I have to do it. Happy for you!

I just had blood drawn and went to a class led by a dietician about eating and supplements. There was one girl who seemed so overwhelmed! She should be on BP reading!

My surgery is actually on Wednesday at 2:45. I'm on day 4 of my 5 day clear liquid and Protein Shake diet.

That's awesome Jess! All the best and keep us posted!

[Maltese gal 63]

And thank you honeybunz! Yes I now have the pre op behind me now for the big day! You're going to do awesome too, I wouldn't have been so calm if it weren't for you and all the support I get from you all and I'm here for you too anytime! Now for a nap lol see you on here very soon

Mine happened so fast I thought I missed my appt when I woke up. You will be fine!

Glad all went well Maltese Gal! I'm from Florida but will be heading to Mexico for my surgery in several weeks. I'm on my high Protein low carb diet for the next 2 weeks, then a full liquid for the final few weeks. I have no doubt my liver is the size of a small rhino's, so I gotta work hard to shrink that bad boy down! Best of luck to you also Jess + honeybunz!

Silly question, does anyone know if hospitals ever do these on Saturdays? I'm only asking because with summer coming up we want to take a couple of long weekends if possible and I want to conserve my PTO wherever possible. I work M-F but I'm able to move my hours around if that's what I end up needing to do

Where I work, weekends and holidays are emergency procedures only.

Thanks! I'm sure that is the way it is here as well. Never hurts to ask. But it will be worth using the PTO for!!
