lab work done today

Got my blood draws, chest xray etc done today...counting down the days till August 1st. I even have a countdown ticker on my desktop pc...haha

Congratulations on getting this far!!! I know you must be so excited!!!!! Your date will be here before you know it!

Good for you! Get a copy of your labs when you go to the office. Tell them you're going to track them on your own spreadsheet. Not too much longer now!

Congratulations to you!  You are super close!  Make sure you stay hydrated in these days before surgery.  I had my surgery last year during the height of the heatwave and when I had my pre-op done I was a bit under-hydrated.  I had to drink Gatorade 2 and water like crazy 48 hours before surgery!

You are so close.  Those last days were agony, then they were just a memory.  Soon all this part will be behind you and you will be on your way.

Thanks for all the encouragement! It really means alot to me. I really only have the WLS boards to discuss all that is happening. I do have my hubby,kids, and a couple of close friends but bless their hearts they cannot offer the support that you guys can and do!

Peyton thanks for the advice on hydration! It really has been awfully hot here in Kansas. I was watching the local news last night and someone had messaged into the newsoffice this..

"Satan called....He wants his weather back!"...Ha Ha

My ticker now says 13 days...2 hours..34 miniutes...tick tick tick

I know you are getting excited!!  It won't be long now.  We are getting ready to move over for you on the loser's bench!!

I agree with MajorMom, get copies of all of your labs and start you a spread sheet.  Most doctors will look at your last set of labs and maybe the time before, but they won't look at it over the years and see if there is any up or down trends that you will see in a spreadsheet that you keep with all your labs in it.

Good luck.

Thanks for the tip! I do already keep a copy of my lab work cuz I have a rare liver disease so I have to keep track of it.

Counting down the days!!!!
