Hi Tina, Ask any questions you have.   Good luck on the pre-op.

Lynn Thanks for the welcome and I will be sure to keep everyone posted and I'm sure I will be bugging everyone with lots of questions. Blessings Tina

Hi, Tina and welcome to a very friendly board!  I've visited several forums, and this is where I feel most "at home."  I'm a Clevelander too, although I live on the east side (Cleveland Heights).  I had my surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, but have heard great things about St. Vincent's.   Don't worry about the 2-week liquid diet; it's only 2 weeks and you will survive.  In the end, it will all be worth it!   Good luck on your journey -  Kellie
