I got a call from my doctor today, with great news.  My MIBI Heart test results are all in and I can go ahead with RNY on Aug 27 - Edmonton

I slacked off with my exercise last week and need to get back on track.   I appreciate all your tips and advice and looking forward to the next meet & greet.

 oh im sooooooo happy for you!! yahooooo! thats awesome! ive been wondering when you would hear, now the countdown begins, keep up the excercise, it can only make for a safer surgery, which is realllly important. i saw a couple scary stories when i was in edmonton. they were 1 in a million odds of happening. just, if you get the same room mate i had, dont worry. it happened once, so as my husband says we are good for the next million. ill msg you about it when you are post op. i had said on an earlier post that i would post about my room mates but i havent because i dont want to encourage cold feet. wow! i just read over what ive typed and it sounds bad, ugh, not my intention. you will be great! and the nurses are so attentive and on the ball, they rocked! especially a nurse named heather, i swear she was sent by fate, or the universe or whatever, lol. she was just swesome. if you have ANY questions about the experiance feel free to ask me. is someone going with you? i originally thought i wanted a private room, but being in a room with 3 others has its benefits. the nurse is assigned to just you 4 people so shes almost always in the room if you need anything. it worked well. the showers were small, but they help you bathe so it was ok, especially alice! what a doll she is! im so excited for you, best of luc****ep in touch,
niki

Hi Niki

Glad to hear the positive news on the hospital.  I was wondering what it would be like.  Would you be available to meet for coffee sometime?  I have a lot of questions and would love to hear about your experience.

Thanks

HI Niki

I forgot to say, a couple is coming with me.   She is a retired RN and her husband are coming.  I booked a room for them at the Best Western Plus City Centre, close to the hospital from Aug 23 to Aug 31.  How long did you have to stay in Edmonton?

Thanks

Wonderful Alvina!!  We were all putting the good vibe toward ya!  It will be easier to get back to the gym now that you have a definite goal!  Get strong for your surgery and it will definitely go easier for you (how can you tell I just got back from the gym and am stillon my "high" lol)

So happy it's all working out for you (no pun intended)....

That's wonderful new Alvina, I had been wondering but didn't want to ask.  For sure this will help motivate you to get back to work at the exercise.  It really does help if you go into the surgery having exercised and toned up some muscles.  I am so happy for you.
