'm hoping I'll be in the clear. My doctor does his surgeries on Mondays and Fridays. I am in Cumberland County and it's not too bad so far. They did call to let me know that tomorrow morning last pre-op appointment is pending on the weather. They did say they will make sure to get me in if that does happen. Hopefully im in the clear.

It's better to be safe than sorry

Nyc, ct and nj has declared emergencies and no one should be on the road after 11pm, 9 pm, and 9 pm respectively until mid day tuesday

There's no way the doc would be able to get to you. And then what happens In a power outage?

Remembe sandy? I am sure many vets on here were postponed as well.

Be safe! Not sorry! You will have this another day. Not dead on side of garden state parkway!

I managed to get my PCP and pre-op testing in! Heading home to hunker down now. In what will likely be the most expensive cab ever. Such is life.

I'm in northern NJ and I had to leave work today to go for surgical clearance. I was stressing out that I wouldn't get there

Me too. I was scared my EKG and blood pressure would be totally out of whack BC of nerves! Thankfully both were in the normalish range!

They said I MAY be rescheduled for Thursday but they never confirmed before everyone went home. I guess we'll see?

My bad. I wasn't trying to make light of anyone's concerns. I'm in Philly and they are predicting that here as well. I just tend to take most weather reports with a grain of salt. I am prepared but not scared. Wasn't Friday's storm supposed to be 3 - 6 inches and we got like 1 - 2?

Anyway in my experience most hospital's in the NE are prepared for bad weather conditions. Unless roads are shut down I doubt they will cancel anyone's surgery.

I love how positive you always are! I'm a glass half full gal myself.

I am about an hour outside Philly in Pottstown and we got a heavy 5 inches of snow. So they weren't totally wrong.

This storm I am hearing 3-6 and 8-10 for my area, depending on the storm track. NY is in the 2-3 feet range for prediction.

I hope not. I had a planned C-section when hurricane Sandy hit NH and was not canceled. The only thing I would worry about it hospital staff making it In. We're in for 2 feet and my DON said she would come get me if I couldn't get my car out lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
