I got a date!!!

Nikki- I have definately learned that you can't call there too much. I actually talked to Dr. Lidor's coordinator today about something else and she implied that she'd have a date on the 11th - we'll see. Let me know what going on with you before surgery - I'm curious what the pre op appointment is like. I read so much that people do tons of tests preop (even prior to approval)but I haven't done anything at Hopkins. I'm going to try to be realistic since you switched before me my date may be later than yours. I talked to Tara(the NP) at the support group in early April and she said at that time Dr. Lidor was booked out the least of the remaining 3- so we may be close.

Thanks,
Linda

That would be awesome to go in on the same date and have someone in there with you that you know. Maybe you should call and put a bug in their ear to do your on June 5th too. LOL. I got the paperwork for all my pre-op, I have to have an EKG (can do that in the office), some blood work and a chest x-ray and an office visit for a physical. No liquid diet before, just nothin after midnight. But Dr. Steel wanted me to do a liquid diet two weeks before, Dr. Schweitzer doesn't do that for some reason...Keep me updated for when  you get your date!!! Good luck!!!!
