I have my surgery July 6th...that's next Tuesday! My head is spinning with everything I was told yesterday durning preop. I thought I was prepared and did my research.  How do you digest it all?

I got the fact that I am now on LIQUIDS only and I must workout my lungs.  (I am hoping I dont forget to do something important!)

Inching my way toward the looooosers bench!

It CAN be overwhelming when you try to look at the big picture. You've done your research and are prepared for the journey ahead of you. Now take it one day at a time, especially with the liquid diet! Just concentrate on today and doing everything you're supposed to do. After day #3 it's all downhill....promise!

We're saving your spot on the Bench!

Thanks, even though you read all the posts it gives pause when it is actually you. It helps to have support here!

Yup! So just stay with it. My suggestion is to document everything as much as you can so that you can go back and read a lot of the instructions and stuff you are given. Also remember to take a still or even video camera with you to the hospital and use it! I didn't do that and I really regret not having that stuff to look back on.
