November 14th is the big day

[mimidanadrt2 12]

Surgery is scheduled in Charlotte NC on Monday. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. I turned 50 in October and this is a present to me after taking care of everyone else my entire life. Insurance approved me on the the 3rd, surgeons office called me that day to schedule and I started the pre-op diet the next day. I like that way it worked out because I didn't have a lot of time to think about it all.

The diet was rough the first two days but now it's not bad at all. 3 Protein shakes a day and broth or sugar free Jello to fill in between meals. I really thought I would be starving and moody but I really haven't been. Just really excited about surgery.

My mother just knows that something horrible is going to happen but I have assured her that all will be well. My husband and kids are all supportive so I am lucky.

Prayers appreciated!

Hello... You have all prayers headed your way. The pre-op diet? I am on day 2 surgery is 11/23. I am doing 4 shakes, broth, Jello, Water and unsweet tea. I am sooooooo tired and feel weak? Did you or anyone else feel like that? You said day 3 gets better, I am looking forward AND hope that is the case for me. Dry mouth, nausea feeling, rumbling and noises from my stomach are making me feel little, guess little anxiety. I pray and know all will go well with your surgery.

Yes I have been a little tired but it seems to be getting better now. I get to drink Gatorade G2 and I think that helps as well.

My surgery is on the 14th as well. I used to live about fifty miles from Charlotte in Lexington! I'm in Houston Texas now. I have to be at the hospital at 5AM that morning. The pre op diet was/is hard for me, I'm doing 14 days of it. It'll be better soon though. Good luck to you!

I'm nervous too! I've been busy these past 2 weeks but now it's sinking in that it's really happening. I'm only nervous about the hospital experience though. I think I'll breathe a sigh of relief once I'm back home on 11/16.

I actually live in King which is not to far from Lexington. But my insurance company is making me go to Charlotte for the surgery. Good luck with your surgery!

Yeah I have lots of plans for the next three days. Today was my last day of work so now it's time to get my house all cleaned up, post op groceries bought, prescriptions picked up. Anything I can do to keep my mind off of Monday. Best of luck to you on your surgery!

How did all of the fellow 14ther's do? I am headed home from the hospital right now. The surgery went great and they found a huge hiatal hernia that they repaired as well. I have not been in nearly the pain that I thought I would.
