Hi Niki

I was wondering how soon after surgery did you book your flight home and do you go the day before? 

Thanks
Alvina

 hey alvina, yes i am going the day before surg, as we have to attend a pre-admission clinic. i was told it could take anywhere from 2-6 hours to go thru everything that day. i am flying out this monday morning land at 715 a.m straight to weight wise clinic for a check/weigh in, then over to the basement of the hospital for the pre adm clinic. then i go get groceries and come back to the hotel to relax for the evening. i dont even know my surg time until the night before, so i will have to call the clinic for a time. then thaty night i do a colon cleanse and start to fast , not even water. then wake up head tpo the hospital for surg. nothing to drink the day of surg either until they do a leak test the following day, then as long as its ok i will start my sipping. i am told i will be in hospital for 3 days as long as all goes well. i am staying at the hotel until monday, then fly back monday night. so in total im there 7 nights.

btw- figured out why i am having nausea- im withdrawing from one of my meds. its not absorbing  right cuz im not getting the cals required for it to absorb.
