Pre-op and IVC filter on Wednesday

I'll  have an IVC filter put in on Wednesday morning then to my pre-op appointment. Surgery is scheduled for December 21st. I've completed my pre surgical nutrition class. It was a great class and helped me understand and be more committed to the process. My mind is going in a million different directions. I'm afraid, excited, unsure, sure, I can't do this, I can do it. -Back and forth I go.

Yup, can be very nerve wrecking. I had many sleep less nights thinking about all of the stuff going to be happening and taken place. Just one week away - amazing how quickly time flies by. Will have to keep me posted with how your doing - when you feel up to it.  One thing that I found very helpful was getting sippy cups. the ones you get for kids they are called the togo brand.  The opening is a little narrow, so I stuck a knife in to open it up. That was great to put ice chips in, let it melt and get little sips at a time. I had that in the hospital (but I was in longer than what you will probably be in for)

Chap stick, pillow and crocs were all I needed with me.  Thought I'd share that too

Hi Mishelle,
Thanks for your encouragment. I love the idea of a sippy cup. I'll look into that.
I will keep you updated.
Take Care
Hugs~

Sure thing, wish you good luck! Going to the meeting tomorrow night?

No, I wish I could. I have a previous commitment. I'll miss being there.
Have a good meeting.

I won't be going either, after missing the bullet on all the flu and colds the fam has had I now got it.

So sorry you got sick. Rest, drink fluids and rest some more if you can.
My surgery in Monday so I'll hope to see you in January.
Happy Holidays
Annie

Hi Toni,
I'm so glad to hear from you. I was getting concerned that you hadn't posted anything. It's good you are doing well. When you are able I'd love to hear how you did with surgery, going home, all the emotions.
I'm scheduled with Dr Schoen for Monday 21st of December and I'm doing the RNY.
I go between feeling peaceful then afraid. I'll be so glad when it is done.
I had an IVC filter put in on Wednesday. I have a history of blood clots in my lungs.
Thanks for you note and so so glad you are doing good.
Annie
