Topic: RE: Pre-op Anxiety
Agreed! It just dawned on my yesterday when someone responded to one of my posts, that it is only 1 month away!! June 23/08 is the day!
I don't think we would be normal if we didn't have some anxiety -- it is a huge, life-changing, life-long decision! Short term pain for long term gain!!!!!!!!!

Take care,

Thanks for the response to my posting of my surgery date. You mentioned you are on the liver shrinking diet...what type of product are you using? If you could give me any advise on the step you are on now in our journey what would it be? Good Luck on your surgery date too!
Topic: RE: June 2nd is my day!!!
I am on June 2nd too. I have already done all my pre op. It really was easier than I thought it would be. They *****ed me 2 times (one was to find the oxygen in blood-took that from the wrist, and the other tubes were taken from my arm), then they did a chest xray, physical (just listen to everything and ask lots of questions) and an ekg(no big deal)
