July 19th Babies -Tuesday Talk!

wow there's alot of us on the 19th hu? I haven't had anything told to me yet except this: Pre-op tests ~ July 12th Pre-op meeting with surgeon for last minute questions or issues ~ July 13th Pre-op class ~ July 14th (this is where I find out everything including what to buy, how much protein, water etc. We also get a 2 yr subscription to our webmd service which lets you journal all your foods and stuff and tells you what more you need etc and if you have a question for your surgeon, he can look at your journal online and answer appropriately.) I really can't wait for this! It took me a year and a half to get approval and I can't belive I'm down to 19 more days. I have a pretty busy July planned before surgery including my triplets' 3rd birthday party and 2 other birthdays in the family. That and all the appts should keep me occupied before surgery. We are almost there you guys! What time is everyone's surgery scheduled? Mine is 1:00pm PST. Hugs to all, Deejay

My surgery is scheduled for 8:30 AM ET. I'm kind of glad it's in the morning - I'm not good at waiting - especially if I can't eat! LOL I'll be glad once they put that mask on my face and I go off to La-La land...and then, when I open my eyes in recovery, I'll know I've made it to the losing side!

Mines Scheduled for 7:45 am i have to be there 5:45am.....im so nervous and excited all in one my pre -op class is the 12th and there i will get all the rest of the info i need...i can believe it....thats cool theres a lot of us with the 19th date

I'm scheduled for 11:00. i have to be at the hospital at 9:45 to be preped. like you i really don't know what's going on yet. i have my last appointment with the surgeon on thurs the 7th so i guess i'll find out then. from others i have talked to in my local support group i'll go in on the 15th for a cvc filter and pre-op tests and pre-admin. for the surgery. i too can't wait to have this done. i started looking into this a year ago and started the process 6 months ago, so i am READY. i've been doing some of my own shopping for things i think i may need and the poeple have told me i'll need, like chapstick, robe, cd's, etc. the webmd service sounds like a great idea. my surgeon doesn't have that but does have a really good aftercare program. i'll be seeing him monthly after surgery plus attending support group meetings locally. good luck to all the july 19th surgery babies.....lets keep in touch gale
