Had my first pre-op appt today....
I thought I might be having labs today cuz I couldn't eat or drink for 4hrs before appt.
No, it was a metabolism test. Had to breathe into a device for 5 min and that somehow gave the nut my metabolism info. I also had a body fat % measurement....yuk...I need to lose ALOT of fat. I was also low on fluids..well, after being NPO for 4 hrs I think I would be.
Anyway...I am ready for this. She gave me a new binder with very specific info about the surgery, recovery and eating for the rest of my life. She was supposed to take a photo of me but we both forgot cuz we were discussing whether I should get a flu shot. Next Wed I have the long day of pre-op including labs. I am so excited now. Less than 3 wks away. I read thru the material tonite, learned some new things.
I am so excited that I'm giddy. I've decided that once my sis gets back from Jamaica (this weekend) I'm going to ask if she can stay with me for the first day home from the hospital. Yeah, I'm on my way!

Alice,
Sounds like you are doing great with getting what you need for your surgery. Isn't it amazing that the time is flying by so quickly??
I believe in getting help even though asking is sometimes hard for me. Take care of yourself in the mean time - ie: enough rest, plenty of fluids...
Congratulations!

Thank you Everyone for your kind words and support.
I'm really working on getting enough rest, fluids and everything necessary to stay healthy till my surgery.
My son will be home from grad school this coming wk and I'm going to get some pics taken with his camera...I might even be able to post an avatar soon...I'm tired of being the "shadow".
Thanks again...
