thanks sandi but i didnt realize that the message board was for feb dates only my date is this month this monday yikes!!! closer then a month right oh boy actually going to doc now to get the clearance for surgury now wish me luck thanks for responding talk to you again soon linda

My date is the day before yours. I am more excited than anything. I was definitely hoping for an earlier date but they seem to be bogged down here at the first of the year. I guess after all my insurance hassles, I should be thankful I even have a date. What all do you have to do pre-op? I have to do a 10 day liquid diet which is going to be soooo difficult. I am going to need so much support during that time. At least my surgeon doesn't require a colon prep. Some others in his practice do require it. I go for my pre-op tests on February 7th. I think an UGI and blood work. I don't know what else. They just game me appoint sheets with times and places to be. At least they got them all on one day. I hope your nerves settle down. It won't be so scarey. Have you ever had surgery before? This is my 4th so I know what to expect. It can be intimidating if you have never had any before though. Sandi

Woops, I read your post the wrong way. I thought they moved it up not back. Sorry. Sandi

I have to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. and surgery is at 8.....we will be real sisters......let me know where you are..will write you more this p.m. Joyce
