Pre-Op with my Dr. today...

PHEW!  After almost a year, my time is finally near.  I had my pre-op at my Dr's today, he really scared me. He was looking through my chart and he says, "What! You put weight ON!". I was like, "it's my cycle time". He was like, "I understand that but over 20 lbs is not your cycle!" Yikes! I told him that he was looking at my weight from almost a year ago...yes, I've gain weight since then..go figure! Anyhow, I told him that I was just in last month and got an updated weight before my package was submitted to insurance.  I felt like he was ready to tell me that I couldn't have my surgery next week...I was just about in tears!  Anyhow, we got all that straightened out. Again, PHEW! I guess my punishment for gaining weight in the last year is that I have to do a liquid diet for a week. Bummer! Usually he doesn't require it, just eat light a couple of days pre-op and then clear liquids the day before. Oh well, I'm more than glad to do it as long as I'm still on for surgery next week! OK, I think I got it all out...thanks for listening.

Hi Wendy -

I'm glad to hear that it's all straightened out. I'm sure that you'll sail through your pre-op diet and your surgery.

I look forward to hearing of your experiences.

Thanks Barb

I'm not really sailing, kindda feel like sinking is more like it. It's OK, I'll make it...time to drink more water..arg!

You are lucky you only have to do the liquid for a week.  My surgery is the day before yours and i started last Tuesday but glad that I have already lost 10 lbs.  Good lucky with your surgery!  Are you as nervous as me? Take care and my prayers are with you! Pam
