December 4th Surgery Date - I need an angel :)

Well only 13 days til my new life begins!! I am really excited... and scared, and nervous and anxious and apprehensive, but mostly I'm excited. I just got this email from OH telling me all the things to expect in the next 2 weeks - what an awesome email! (Thanks OH!) - It says I need to find an angel - are there any angels out there? My sister in law will be here in about an hour to take me to my PAT (Pre-Admission Testing) which they said would last 4-5 hours! Is anyone else feeling (or is everyone else) feeling like they just wish the surgery was tomorrow so we could get on with our new lives already? I just cant wait to start losing weight and feeling good again!

Hi Tracy, Im Tracy too. My surgery date is also Dec 4th. I want it over with also. Ill be thinking of you as Im rolling into the operating room.

My surgery is the 3rd of dec.& I just went through pre-op this afternoon. Oyyy.... :-0 Everything was great except since I have asthma I had to have a blood gas. In order to do the test right they have to go into an artiery (misspelled I know) Other than that things went smooth....just plan on being at the hospital more than 2-3 hours. Well I start my liquid pre-op diet in the morning....Ughhh....Turkey Day! Well I have the rest of my life to work for. Good luck. Keep us updated. Roxanna in Waycross,Georgia
