Surgery Scheduled

I made the decision after talking at length with the surgeon.  We're on for Jan 14th!!  I can't believe it's moving so fast. And since I'm lower BMI there's not as much pre-surgery work to do. Just got my endoscopy yesterday and all of my pre-op required appointments are scheduled. I'm sort of in shock :)  But my hubby and I are both very excited about what next year will bring.

How exciting!!!!! 

Hurray!!! is seems so much more real once you have a date!!!

Now to start walking or exercising, decaff and decarb before surgery.  Hopefully your Dr will get labs done before surgery so you can get started on the right vits/mins early instead of waiting until there is a problem.  Read, read, read.  And hang on for a wild ride 

Thanks! I've been exercising with a trainer for years now, so that is in progress. I already spoke with her today about how to get back in the gym after surgery :).  Doc has already ordered labs, I just need a morning when I can go in fasting to get them drawn. I'm thinking next Monday.  I'm planning the decaf/decarb part the week or two before surgery. I don't do too much caffeine anyway (1-2 cups max).

I am excited and ready for this ride!!

Sounds like you have a great plan.  Just don't do the decaf to fast.  those headaches are horrible. 

Congratulations!!  : )

YAY for you. Wishing you the best of luck and a speedy recovery. I was also a light weight so I didn't need a pre op liquid diet at all. Loved that part. Happy Holidays

Congratulations on getting your date.  What type surgery are you having, sorry if I missed it somewhere.   Keep us updated.  We are here to help you!!
