May 17th is quickly approaching

Hi Everyone: Hope you are all doing well!!!! I can't believe how quickly the time is going and I feel like I have so many things to do. The fast has been tough, but only 8 more days to go. I wish everyone a safe surgery and can not wait until we are all on the losing side. Kelly

Amen to that! My surgery is also May 17th and I feel like I have so much stuff to do. Nevermind the fact that I'm so excited/nervous at night that I can't sleep! One more week...well, and a day, but...I'm not counting that!

Hi Amber, I am happy to share my re-birthday with you. Good luck with everything. I feel the same way you do. Kelly

My surgeon has told me not to take any sleep aides or ibuprofin or aspirin or anything of the sort. So, sleeping has been a challenge. I just hope I don't get caught slobbering on my desk at work. Of course I have so much crap to do between now and then that I'm not sitting still long enough to get comfy. I remember when I had five weeks left. Where did the time go? It did fly like everyone said it would!

Hi Amber, I was told the same thing. I have been going to bed early..so that I don't sit downstairs and eat late at night...LOL. My sense of smell is so strong....I can smell food a mile away. The time sure did fly. Kelly

Hey girls........May 17th for me too...and YES, the time has flown by! Have you both had your pre-admission testing? I have to go tomorrow.......and I'm nervous!!!! Seems like the last hurdle to jump over before this will seem real to me. Pray that everything goes well for me tomorrow!!! Courtney

Hi Courtney, Good luck and let me know how things go. Kelly

Me too me too!! May 17th for me too! LOL.... I keep reading about all these pre-admission testing... but I haven't been told anything by my clinic that I'd need any of these. I did see a PCP last week, but haven't had any tests run for 'pre-admission'. Well.. now that I think about it... I did have an EKG and Chest X-ray... and an Hpylori test... but this was back in Feb. My insurance required these tests to be finished before they'd review my case. I wonder if they are just calling these good enough for me.. and not making me do them agian. Hmmm. I'm calling my surgeon's office tomorrow... cause I also want to know if my RNY is Distal or Prox.... so I'll ask about these tests too.. just for peace of mind. Anyways..I can't beleive it is almost time!! I'm getting more and more nervous Pretty soon we'll be on the losers bench... WOOOhOOO

Hi Sara, It is really hard to believe how fast the time has gone by. I really need to get focused and get my stuff together for the hospital. There are so many things to do around the house also. Kelly

Hi Kelly, May 17th is also my day! Time is flying by and I keep thinking of more things that need to be done. Tomorrow I am going for my preadmission tests and surgeon consult. I am told that I have to do a gall bladder ultrasound, but I don't know what other tests are being done. I was not told to fast or do any pre-op liquid diet except for the day before surgery. Best wishes for all the other 517ers. See you on the loser's team. Joyce
