I have a date!!!!

Got the call today that my date is August 2nd!   I am so excited!!!!   I was hoping for a couple weeks earlier to recover in time for the beginning of the school year, but I am just feeling blessed that it is happening at all! Thanks for listening to me whine everytime I waited longer than i thought I should!!! Colleen

Congrats on getting your date !!! I've got 14 days left as of Tuesday. By the way my son's initials are ccy.

Hi, thanks so much! Your day will be here in no time! Congratulations! keep us posted! colleen

Oh Colleen I am so happy for you!!!! You will be in my thought and prayers....You go girl get on the loosing side!! Blessings Tina

Thanks Tina I think I will need all those throughts and prayers! What is the lastest update with you? you are almost done with the 6 months right? is everything else done and ready to go so when your last appointment is here they can send it right away?  talk to you soon colleen

I have 2 more appointments on the 6 month diet and got the sleep study done and the psych eval done. Going to see the Vascular doc tomorrow.  Hope thats it. More than likely if all goes well the end of August should be it. Blessings Tina

Hi Tina wow two more appointments that is great! It is also good that you have everything in place aahead of time. You might have done this, but after the vascular doc make sure that Latonya has everyting so that when you get the final okay from Doc she can send it!  AWESOME!!   Colleen

WAY TO GO COLLEEN!!!! I got a message from Towanda this afternoon that she'll be calling me tomorrow with my date. When is your pre-admission testing? If you told me this, I forgot but do you have to do the 2 week liquid diet? Wouldn't it be funny if we were in the hospital at the same time??

 

We could be walking buddies! That would be awesome! My pre-admission testing is July 13! I do not know about a liquid diet. I have not been told that yet. I know another gal who was told at her initial eval...so I guess I am waiting until pre-op to find out. I am nervous though because when I went for my initial I was just getting through the stomach virus...so I have been fighting to get those ten pounds off that I put on after I finally began to eat again after a week of liquids.... It was all water weight...think I could get that off now? Someone told me to take a diuretic before going...my luck that would send my blood levels wacky and they would delay my surgery....so I am going to do my best to get them off, and just see what happens when I get there.  I figure even if I have to do a liquid it is just a prep for what is to come...I can handle it as long as they do not make me drink yucky thick shakes.... i don't think I could handle that!  Let me know what you find out! Good Luck Colleen

I am SOOOOOO happy and excited for you!!! I will find out my date on Thursday!!! Keep your eyes open, I will definitely be posting it!!!
