Sleeved and home

Ok after being postponed on the 18th they called me tuesday at 6 p.m. to tell me my surgery was wednesday morning at 5:15 a.m. I was in shock and even asked the nurse if someone was playing a trick on me, she said it was no trick and could i be there wednesday morning. Of course I said yes and rushed around repacking everything and making arrangements. I found that it was unusual that Vanessa didn't call me herself and tell me my surgery was scheduled. I am so glad it is over. Now I'm dealing with extreme gas in my chest and I have been walking and sipping ever since I got home. Thank you everyone who told me not to give up on myself.

You are truely a remarkable person to be able to put up with all the **** I personally would have serious talk with Vanessa. I am so glad your surgery is over with and you are now a member of the loosers bench!
The gas will subside shortly and you'll be able to go about your normal life.

they have pushed mine back 2 times already. and from what i heard today vanessa is leaving on the 14th not sure why or where she's going. well i finally did my pre op today and my surgery is on the 17th !

 Can u tell me what happens after you've done all the required tests, do u wait after that?

yep, its a waiting game for them to send your stuff to have it approved by insurance but i can tell you this, go on a diet. start your protein shakes and start taking some weight off because it is a requirement to loose 20 lbs.

Thanks. Did you see a cardiologist before u got your surgery date or after? 

well i have been seeing a cardiologist for a few years now, but i had my cardiac clearance done after i got my surgery date. when you get your pre-op apt. the cardi will have to be done 2 weeks prior to that date so they can see the results at your pre-op apt.
