I think november is going to be a great month!!!

17 more days until my new life begins......

I'm Nov 17 too!  CANNOT wait!

My RNY is Nov.21st and I am catching a cold too....I know I have more time, but I am doing Zicam, drinking a ton of liquids, and staying in bed...Also nice hot steamy baths.


I hope you feel better soon

That is my biggest fear getting sick and not getting the surgery on time, go figure we are going to be cut open and our fear is a cold. :) Good luck with it. 19 more days for me.

My PATs time was 8:15am.  There was an earlier group ahead of me. I got there about an hour early and they took me right away.  I signed papers, did blood, BP, temp, ultrasound, x-ray, physical and an hour nutrition class.  I also had a visit from respiratory and had a nurse go over the dos and don'ts before my surgery day.  I got done at about 11.  ( the nutrition class was from the early group. If I hadn't gotten there early, I'd have added an hour on top of that.
For us at Barix, this is about the normal time it takes for the PATs, but I'm not sure about other places and what their PATs consists of.

Maybe you should call ahead and find out just in case you need to reschedule the doctors appointment.
Hope that helps.
