Thanks for all the positive thoughts and feedback. I will let you know what happened at my pre-op appointments but keep in mind, my surgery is at a military hospital. My first appointment was with my surgeon. After I checked in and they took my vitals, I met the chief resident, followed by the intern then the surgeon. I was able to ask them any questions and they went over the expectations. My next appointment was with the head bariatric nurse. She went over all the do's and don'ts of surgery before, during and after. That was about 45 minutes, and it was also a question and answer kind of forum. My last appointment was pre-admissions and it took me over 2 hours. I checked in, signed forms...waited...had my vitals taken...waited....signed more forms....waited....got called back by a nurse and went through Hippa, privacy, authorization forms and had more blood work ordered....waited.....then had my pre-anesthesia appointment. Finally, I went to the lab for some last minute blood work. Having blood drawn has never bothered me but since I've been on all liquids for 11 days, it made me very nauseous and light headed. I was at the hospital for about 6 hours total. It was a very long day but it beats making several trips back and forth. Sorry for the lengthy post!
