Getting Ready for the BIG DAY! Only 2 more weeks to go!!!

Hi all, Just wanted to give everyone an update on how things are going for me. I will be starting to pack my bag this week for my hospital stay. Only 2 more weeks from this Thursday and I will be a LOSER! Yippee! I can't wait! I still have to meet with my surgeon and do my pre-op testing on April 18th. Also have to do my "clean out" on April 25! lol. Not looking forward to that, but have to do it! I also just wanted to take this time to wish everyone who has went before me and who will be going before my surgery GOOD LUCK and hope that you have a speedy recovery! Clayton

Best of luck to you also!!! lol Jen

Clayton, You're WAY too organized. Good luck as you continue the journey. DD

LOL DD! I know, I am pretty organized with this. Have not been this organized in my entire life! LOL! My mother says I would be an "A" student if I was this organized in school!! LOL!! Even though I was organized in school(somewhat...lol) I was never as organized as what I wanted to be for getting this surgery...lol! Clayton

What packing already? Actually I have been thinking about starting & then saying No, Donna you don't even leave until the17th, calm down, give yourself something to do when you really start getting nervous

Hi Donna, Yup am slowly starting to pack this week. I have too much time on my hands this week and I want to get it done and over with because I have lots of things to do next week and the week of my surgery that I won't have the time to pack then. Clayton

Hey Clayton-I'm right there with you-my surgery is the 24th--I'm having my pre op tomorrow and then I start my liquid diet this Saturday-I am actually looking forward to it. The nurse at Dr. Jones office said not to pack very much--use the hospital gowns and robes so you don't have to do laundry when you get home--pillow..check...chapstick....check...book....check--I guess I'm ready. Hugs, Cheryl

Hey you.....great to see a post.....well one word of advice........STAY OUT OF THE CANDY......LMAO.....Good luck....

Hi Crystal, Yes I know the rules... Candy is a big NO NO!! I eat too much of it.... LOL! I did throw most of it out though so that is good. I know what the consequences of it would be after surgery anyways....!! Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I will post again soon! Clayton
