Pre-op today

Can you imagine my surprise when I got a call yesterday morning asking me to come for my pre-op appointment today at 8 am? Things are really happening.

One more step closer!!!!

Thats great. How long have you been waiting?

Since the fall of 2004 but went to the first info session in August.

You must  have your surgery date right?   

Nadine

My surgery date is Aug 11

That's wonderful, only a few weeks away, you must be so excited.  Getting ready for your week of liquids, be sure to try as many differenty types of stuff as possible over the coming weeks, I know for me there was so many I didn't like.

Looking forward to hearing your updates,

Take care of you,

Nadine

wow that is great i am going to see my family doc today to start the process. can you tell me what is involved with all this.

My doctor had to send a letter to MSI requesting approval. This was before the new program was begun. Then I waited on  a list forever. But then they brought about the new program. I was invited to an information session and given all the homework. I went to a second session in March for those with a bmi over 60. By then I had brought my bmi down and was then in to see the team in April. I saw Dr Ellesmere at last week and then went for preop this week.

August 11 - that's great!!  It will be here & gone before you know it!!!  Woohoo!!!
