So.....surgery is scheduled for 6/21. I thought I was ready but now I am suddenly panicking that I haven't thought of/researched something. I am a planner. Not knowing all of the details makes me go into panic attack mode. I have a pre-op appointment Wednesday with my doc and dietician. What if I forget to ask something. Gah. Breathe.

Am I crazy for being so crazy?

I think binge watching "my 600 lb life" isn't helping either....

What is the one question you wished you would have asked pre-op?

Just breathing.

Hi SwirlyGirly,

I can't answer your question but wanted to wish you luck! I am scheduled for 6/27 so I am right behind you. I know how you are feeling.

You will be fine- I asked the following-

How long will my stay be?

Will you use the shot blood thinners/heperin?

Will I get a pain pump right out of surgery?

How long is the surgery?

Will I need a leak test after?
