5 Days and Counting.....

Well, Monday January 8th is the big day for me, Im not really nervous just very, very excited...Can anyone give me some heads up on anything you might think I need in the house, or need at all....I would appreciate it...Thanks to everyone....

How exciting for you! I am sitting here trying to figure out my next step. I think I should get tested for sleep apnea first before I see the surgeon. Anyway, keep us posted. Mary

mary don't spend any money on dr visits until you see the surgeon -- also, have you talked to your PCP?? they are your first line of defense (after yourself of course) -- each surgeon has their own criteria of how they handle things -- you may not need a sleep study test at all -- my husband and i didn't --and most testing won't come until after you are approved good luck Roberta

good luck sharon!!! chap stick for the hospital -- your mouth and lips will be dry SF liquids for the house -- maybe SF popsicles -- SF jello or puddings treat yourself to new slippers and a new bathrobe for the hospital -- it will make you feel better don't buy alot of protein stuff -- try to get samples for now --then find one you like don't spend alot of money -- most stuff will sit there and never get used lol the first few days you won't feel like eating or drinking --but you will have too!! maybe buy a body pillow to get comfortable in bed -- something to support your back take care roberta
