OregonTeacher 63 Posted March 29, 2015 Hello, Everyone! My date is April 21st and at 7:30a.m. I am also 5' 5" tall. Seems to be quite a common height on here ☺️ My highest weight was 298 and as of today I am down to 273. I am quite happy about it because due to the weight lost beyond 5% I only have to do 8 days of full liquid diet and one day of Clear liquids the day before surgery. My surgeons office sent my paperwork to my insurance on the 20th so now I just sit (or walk) and wait to find out whether they are going to authorize this or not. I am terrified they won't approve me right away and I will have to fight them. I already have leave approved and everything in place. I am so happy to have the people here to talk with!

msspiceybaby 58 Posted April 3, 2015 Hello everyone I am suppose to have my surgery in the morning (Good Friday) at 7:15 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am. I'm hoping everything goes well. I had a heart attack in October 2014. They were some concerns about the CABG. Around 4:30 pm I got a call telling me that my white blood cell count was elevated when I did a blood tests. I have COPD and had been sick. So wish me well. I will let everyone know how it turns out. If my date changes I will let you know. Congratulations to all April new journeymen (an women). Good Luck and speedy recovery to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
