PreOp @ TWH complete

I had my PreOp appointment on Monday - and all went very well.

My appt was at 7am - I got there early (just because you never know what to expect when riding on the TTC)

I was the first in line - but by the time they opened the doors at 7 - there was about 10-12 people behind me.

I did :

• Registration - where you choose what type of room you want
• Pharmacist
• Blood work - they took 14 tubes of blood out of me (3 were for the fatty liver study I am participating in)
• ECG
• Nurse
  •    She did weight, height, blood pressure - went over results from blood work , ECG etc and did 3 MRSA swabs (nose, arm pit and groin) - and went over my history
• Anesthetist

I was done and on my way just before 10 am

I cannot say enough about the staff at TWH - I have yet to encounter anyone who is not super friendly

I hope my luck continues - less than 2 weeks now (Jan 23rd is by big day)

So glad your pre-op visit went well!  So did mine, yesterday.  I was lucky, they only took 3 or 4 vials of blood.  The staff at St. Joe's were great too.

Are you on Opti now?  How are you finding it?  I forgot to ask my friends to make ice last night and am drinking my first vanilla shake with a bit of coffee granules. It tastes absolutely awful.  I'm sure it will be better with ice.  If not, it's going to be a very long 3 weeks, lol.

2 weeks til your surgery, 3 weeks til mine; wow! We'll be on the loser's bench sooner than we know.

Take care,

Kathy

I am on SlimTime - and started it on Monday right after my pre-ops appts.'

To be honest - it is quite tasty - I can drink it no problem without anything added - sort of reminds me of Slim fast.

I think the days are going to fly by - but I am busy up until then - so maybe that will help.

We will definitely be on that bench before you know it!

Good luck and all the best :)

So glad you are enjoying your Slim Time.  The opti is better with ice, much better.  Not tasty, unfortunately, but OK.  Doable.  I am munching on some celery now and it tastes amazing, lol.

Good luck to you too!  Save me a spot on the bench :-).

Kathy

absolutely - see you there :)

Just a quick question. How much does the slimtime cost?

Hi - I have looked everywhere I can think of - but can't find how much I paid.

If I do I will reply again - sorry I can't be of more help
