Topic: RE: Patients of Dr. Smith Park Rapids
Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! :) You saved me some serious worry. :) I found out my surgery date on June 16th, the 17th my community wa**** with tornados, so things literally have been a whirlwind here.
Yes, I already had my pre op physical, which is where i must have left my instructions. Everything from the physical was a green light, thankfully.
I have my authorization letter .. just not what I was supposed to do, I think this was stapled to the letter to my PCP. I have read so much about taking a "cleaner", liquid diets etc, that I started wondering if I missed something... it really couldn't be so similar to taking my cat in... could it?? (And yes, it could...)
I was very happy with what I saw in Park Rapids during the seminar. They all seemed to really care.
Thank you again!!

Good morning! Did you already have your pre op physical? I found my packet from before my surgery, so I'll let you know what I've got here. If you have questions, you can call my cell (701)306-6673.
If you have an email I can scan my documents and send them to you.
You will report to the switchboard at the hospital for admission. Do not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hrs prior to surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after 12 M. This includes water, gum and hard candy. You may brush your teeth but don't swallow anything. No alcohol or smoking for 24 hrs. prior to surgery.
Bring any medications you currently take in their bottles.
This is the main info. of the letter I have. They will have you sign an authorization and consent form there. I found the people in Dr. Smith's hospital to be great. They were very caring and helpful. I hope all goes very smoothly for you!

I'm hoping that someone can help me. I'm scheduled for RnY on Tuesday. I went to review my surgical instructions when I discovered, I don't have them. Yikes, not a thing to find out on a weekend. I must have left them at my PCP's office during my pre-op testing. I should have double checked everything that was stapled together.
Between reading posts here and the differing surgical requirements, and having had my cat in for neutering this week, I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember what MY instructions were other than shower evening before/morning of with special soap sent.
I tried to call but obviously it's a weekend, so not sure when my message will be heard and if there is something I need to be doing before Monday there could be a problem.
HELP!
Thank you so much!

Topic: RE: Coffee
Sounds like the weather will be questionable tomorrow anyways, so maybe the coffee shop will work out better anyways.
Just kind of a stupid question... how will I know who I am looking for at the coffee shop? I haven't met any of you yet.
