Raymia 565 Posted February 1, 2017 So how did the pre admission testing go for you? My surgeon kind of scared me but I know surgery is surgery and anything can happen.... We are a week AWAY can you believe it???? I'm just wondering how you all are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJBlanton 4 Posted February 1, 2017 My pre-admission testing went very good. I was a little concerned when I saw that my white blood count (WBC) was slightly elevated; however, the surgeon's nurse told me that would not be a problem (I guess I should have figured since it was Anesthesia who order it). There were no surprises. The only thing that is concerning is me is being away from work. Since I have never really taken any time off, I am not certain how it will go. I am sure it will be fine, but that does not stop me from worrying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymia 565 Posted February 1, 2017 I haven't been out of work for awhile either. Just make sure you get plenty of rest while your out I know some ppl complain about their energy level. I hope I'm fine I'm only taking 2 weeks. My pre-admission testing went very good.

sleevinpops 303 Posted February 1, 2017 Mine is Friday, what is involved? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJBlanton 4 Posted February 1, 2017 For me, it was mostly background for Anesthesia, some blood for Anesthesia, and signing paperwork. Could be different depending on your program and what has already been done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinkrbll 23 Posted February 1, 2017 I have that on Friday to sign all the consents and such. I'm pre-admitted to the hospital already and have met with my surgeon again. I'm ready for Monday! How are y'all doing on liquid diet? I'm down 13.3lbs and hanging strong on diet. Hubs is doing a modified liquid diet with me (he is eating 1 sensible meal whereas mine is all liquid).

biginjapan 647 Posted February 2, 2017 Good luck everyone! Mine is a week from today. I'm having mine done in Tijuana so no pre-admission testing for me. That said, I'm hoping everything checks out fine when I arrive south of the border! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymia 565 Posted February 2, 2017 Best wishes to you as well! And also safe travels make sure you take plenty of pictures I love seeing different places and you can help others that are going to Mexico. It's almost that time : ) Good luck everyone! Mine is a week from today. I'm having mine done in Tijuana so no pre-admission testing for me. That said, I'm hoping everything checks out fine when I arrive south of the border!
