BFN so surgery is scheduled for 7/8/09...

It's bitter sweet that we didn't get pregnant last month but I know WLS will increase our chances of conceiving! So my sister and I are scheduled for 7/8/09 with Dr. C. We see Dr. C and our PCP (we have the same PCP) on Friday and then in a month we'll be in San Francisco. Can anyone suggest any advice in preparing for surgery? Or any tips for a newbie?

Congrats!!!!   I just had mine last Tuesday.   I would reccomend taking slippers & a robe, some reading materials, baby wipes & tampons or pads, just in case.  I didn't start but a lot of women said that they did, even if they had a cycle recently.

For home.  I didn't have a recliner, but I went to a rent a center & rented a nice big one for 3 weeks and am so glad I did.   I did all of my laundry, bought anything needed for my post surgery diet, prepaid some bills & just took care of anything that I wouldn't be able to take care or no one else could take of for me during my recovery. 

Good luck to you & your sis!

Chapstick and my WLS for dummies book was at my side at all time.  If I wasn't sleeping I was reading my book.  I think I read it another 2 more times at the hospital.  Whenever some different feeling came across I was reading.  I am so glad that you and your sister will have each others back during the life changing event!!!

keep in touch!! let's do it..... 

 

thanks girl!!! it's been a long wait but one well worth it....and my sister and i are so excited!!!

i totally agree with you about getting together before we leave. i had a list of ? for dr. c last friday and he answered them all but i want to hear from vets like u and san. when r u available?

I work from 7am til 3pm....Monday thru Friday. This Saturday is my Saturday to cover. So i work from 645am til 12noon.

I have a 101 Financial Seminar on Thursday night.

I have a MILA workshop at 2pm on Saturday.

Maybe we should find out when Sandra is available cause she's got way more kids than I do, therefore her schedule is usually fuller......lol.

 

 

 

Thank you ladies for the warm welcome and the tips!!! I'm very type A so I'm already making lists upon lists of things I need to have before I leave, things I need while I'm in CA and things I'll need when I get back. It's a disease....but if I don't write it down, I know I'll forget something!!!

Girl I thought I was busy!!! I'll call Sandra today and check when she's available. I'll let you know!!!
