Had second and final pre-op appt yesterday....
Happy Thanksgiving to All,
Had 5hr appt yesterday, surgery PA did a physical exam, gave me more specific info, wrote some prescriptions so I can fill them before admission, discussed taking vitamin supplements (he was happy that I started mine months ago), then seen the department coordinator to go over more info, went to admissions to get all set up, had labs drawn, EKG, seen anesthesia PA for about an hour...she had lap rny 3 yrs ago by the same surgeon I'm having, she was FULL of helpful info, gave some great tips then on to having my "before" picture taken....all in all it took 5 hrs. I was NPO for 15hrs total and boy did I miss water. After the fact they told me tha****er would have been ok! I had a pkg of tuna and a spoon in my purse so I could eat as soon as they let me....was getting alittle shakey.
I'm on my way!!!! The surgical PA said that I was in good shape for the surgery and he was glad I lost the 35# before. NO bowel prep and no liquids the day before for me. My surgery is scheduled for 12:30PM on 12/10 but I need to be there at 10AM. They may bump me up to the first surgery but they will let me know the day before. Then I'd have to be there by 5:30AM....doesn't matter to me, just so I get it done. YEAH!!!
It feels so good to be getting close!!

Thanksgiving to you Alice. I am so happy for you. I had my Lap RNY on Nov. 19th...just a week ago yesterday. I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. My son, DIL and Grand daughter and Step Grand son were here along with my DH. I sat on a chair in the kitchen while they cooked and we had the best time ever. Today I started the full liquids/pureed phase so had delicious mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potato and a tsp of gravy and I will eat the same for my evening meal coming up shortly. I found that it isn't all just about the food....rather it is about family and loved ones being around you. This is perhaps my best Thanksgiving ever after my "re=birth". On Dec 4th, DL and I will travel the 220# miles back to the hospital/clinic to have my two week check with the Surgeon. This morning I stepped on the scales and found that I have lost 23 pounds since on my pre-op weigh in. According to the surgeon's ideal weight for me, I need to lose 87 more pounds. YIPPEE !!
So Good luck to you in your upcoming
surgery and I'll be anxious to hear how you did so I can say" "Welcome to the losers' bench...we have a place all ready for you".

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just had my first thanksgiving without eating so much I feel sick! I had such a good time tlaking with people and seeing family members. It wasn't about the food. Not that I did not enjoy the couple of bites of stuffing I ate or lidking my fingers when i cut a piece of pumpkin pie for my son.
First big holiday, I am not even on real food yet and I feel l happy.
Thankful for so much,
cheryl
