Went to my preop appointment....
And stepped on their scale that wasnt level and it said I weighed 10lbs more than I did with the scale upstairs! Naturally i was almost in tears. I asked everyone who would listen if that meant the surgery would be cancelled, and the one said she didnt know. but the other nurse said she has never seen it happened. and the dr said the only thing he has seen is surgeries cancelled over high gluclose. Now I cant rest easy. I didnt see the surgeon, but the PA. Which weight goes to the insurance to be approved the one at the Surgeon consultation or the pre op? I heard the the one at the surgeon's appt. I saw him the last time. my next appearance is the actual surgery sept 16
I am really trying hard to stay positive. I am getting really excited. Trying to keep myself busy this week, I have a lot of cleaning to do this week. I dont want to come home to a mess. trying to think of all the things I want to pack, I read somewhere to bring chapstick, never used it in my life, but I bought it anyway to bring. i am bringing my laptop to the motel the night before. I am not sure If I will get service at the hospital, or if they will even let me bring it. I have a bag that locks if thats what they are worried about. Thinking about the phone, my family is going to want to get a hold of me, and I will want to call home, to check on my children, make sure all is well. Home is long distance i assume. I have a cell phone and will bring it but I have noticed alot of times that while in the hospital service is blocked. I do have to call my family. I cant go 2 to 3 days without knowing whats going on. unless of course I am out of it.
