October Surgery!!!!

Not exactly sure what all yours will involve but I had my pre op testing last Wednesday. I spent the entire morning at the hospital (5 hours) after fasting for 14 hours. My tests were:

Upper GI
Chest X-Ray
EKG
Gallbladder Ultrasound
Urinalysis including nicotine test
Physical Therapy (to go over the exercises the surgeon wants you to do after surgery)

I also had to see my GYN for all that fun stuff.

I am glad I had all the tests done. It turns out that my help s not as good as I had assumed and helped me confirm my decision for surgery.

I am also Oct 25 with 7 day liquid preop... have preop final meeting Oct 16.  Can't wait!!!

I am scheduled Oct 12!  Been a long journey but im ready for the next chapter.
Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

 Hi date is oct 16th new here

I start my liquid diet on 10/14 and surgery on 10/24 @10:30....nervous scared...and excited...i am full of many emotions right now!

October 2nd for me.. I'm extremely nervous, thinking all the bad that could go wrong, I just read another post about a few people that were opened up and the Doctor found their liver was too large, and didn't do the surgery!  OMG, how do you avoid THAT!
I've been trying my best on the pre-op diet for almost 2 weeks, 3 protein shakes a day and small meal at night, 64oz of water per day, I've been starving, and cheating in between, with some vegetables and chicken.  I haven't had any carbs in this time frame, but now I'm nervous about my cheating,  I guess I'll know Tuesday morning at 7:35 am.    Wish me luck!  and luck to all of you!

Hello,

I have a meeting with my surgeon on Oct. 17 and hopefully will get my surgery date then.  The last few days I have been stressing on everything that can go wrong.  I'm not sure why.  Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow.
