Surgery scheduled for Monday morning.
I saw my doc, did ekg and chest xray.
I owe someone some bloodwork but I cannot remember if southdale needed it or not.

I have to register for the hospital tomorrow ****ep forgetting) and I have the class thing tomorrow morning, too.

I feel like I've forgotten something important.

Maybe you could call Fairview & go over with them what you've done already to make sure you haven't forgotten anything?  From what you say I'd say you haven't forgotten anything, but even I could be forgetting something now that I'm 3 months out.  LoL!  I also had RNY, so not sure if my requirements were any different, but pre-op I had to:

-get bloodwork done (I believe I had this done by my PCP & he faxed that over to Fairview for me)
- the EKG & chest x-ray (done by my PCP)
- went to the pre-surgery class at Fairview
- registererd with the hospital (still bring your insurance card & information with you to the hospital since they still seem to ask for it even though you register early over the phone)

And then I think when you go to your pre-surgery class you can go over everything with them what else you may need to do prior to your surgery.  That class will cover everyything. 

Good luck on Monday!!!  I hope you have an uneventful surgery & a speedy recovery!  Can't wait to have you join all of us on the losers bench!!

Liz - do you have some post surgery food at home ready for you?  Pudding, broth, protein powder, milk, etc?

To have that ready is worth it's weigh in gold.

The very best of luck to you!

Thanks everyone!
I went this morning and did the blood work.  I feel like I have a week of work to get done in the next two days.  Not going to happen!
I was a little weepy all day today!  What is that about??  I just want to cuddle and hang out with my daughter and I have a ton of work to do, plus I have to clean my house.  What if something happens to me??  I must have a clean house for the visitors to see my family.  (I'm being somewhat facetious, but these are things I think about!)
