Preop Dr. Appt TODAY!!

 Well, today's the day!!!!!  I see Dr. Barker this afternoon to schedule my surgery!! (providing I passed all the preop requirements?!)
It probably won't be till January according to Ms Boone, but even thats getting close!! Will let you all know how I make out, still have the stomach polyp thing to find out about.

Can't believe I'm to this point. I thought it would feel like forever, but wow, time really goes fast.... I hope the preop diet goes that fast... Dr. Barkers is 2 weeks of  5 cans of Slimfast a day........

Congratulations!  Isn't it amazing when you look back how the time really does go by quickly?  Why can't it feel that way in the moment?!  lol  My surgical clinic says that they have never had to cancel a surgery due to pre-op testing and they've done over a thousand surgeries, so that's amazing and gave me a lot of comfort not to worry about it.  I'm sure you'll do fine!  I ended up getting my surgery scheduled for about one month earlier than they predicted a couple of months ago, so I will hope the same for you.  Good luck! 

CONGRATS!!! I know that is so exciting! I remember getting my surgery day! It was excitement and a huge relief as well. Let us know when your date is!!! :-)

((HUGS))

The time will fly for you! Yes, let us know your surgery date!! :)

Congratulations !  How did the appointment go?

Time will go fast now and then you will be on the loser's bench!

Thanks for all your kind words. The appointment went very well, apparently those nasty polyps aren't the bad kind so I still qualify for the RNY. I got my date, January 21, 2009. Sounds far but I know especially with the holidays it'll be here quick. I have a two week liquid diet to do preop, 5 cans of slimfast high protein a day and all the SF liquids I can get in. Kind of symbolic I thought, I start my preop diet on my birthday! New year, new life.

I'm sure I'll be on here moaning after a couple of days on that that I'm hungry, I'm a bear when I don't get enough sleep or when my blood sugar drops!
