Here I am approaching my surgery very quickly. Tomorrow morning at 5:30 I have to be at the hospital for my 7:30 a.m. surgery! Michael and I are spending the day today preparing for it and just being together.

The two week liquid diet was great - tough, but I lost about 17 pounds, so that should help get me started. I am about to start drinking the bowel prep (sorry) liquid, so that should make an interesting afternoon.

Thank you all for the support and generous sharing here. I'm so ready to join all the wonderful people in this group on the losers' bench! Move on over, here I come!

YAY YOU!!! 17 pounds is AWESOME for your LD!!!

As for the bowel prep? Well, some people had a crappy time with it (SORRY!! ), but for me, it was really a non-event. I mean, you've been doing nothing but drink your meals for 14 days, right? And you probably discovered that liquid in = liquid out. So seriously - what's left to evacuate??

Will be thinking of you and sending up a prayer for your surgery to be smooth and uneventful, Mary!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Are you having it done here at Abbott? I work here... Good luck!

Pre-op goes quicker than you expect.. all the sudden you're going down the hall and then poof.. you're waking up!

Congrats!

Yep - I'll be at Abbott! I had a knee replacement there last November and think the world of the hospital!

Good luck Mary! I'll be thinking about you and praying all goes well.

17 lbs on the liquid diet - way to go!

Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.

Best wishes for a straight forward surgery tomorrow and an easy recovery, you'll do great! Congrats on losing 17lbs in the last two weeks, that's a great headstart.
