Finally sunk in, it's really happening

Got my patient surgery checklist packet today, and it finally sunk in that it's really happening.

I noticed that it says that we'll have more lab work done (fasting labs), *sigh*. At least it's on the way to work for me.

I'm really not looking forward to the milk of magnesia prep. I've done prep before for a colonoscopy and it gave Johnny Cash's song "ring of fire" a whole new meaning!

So who all has a date so far? I wanted to list them all down.

Becca - August 5th (VSG)
Karen - August 10th (?)
Veronica - August 21st (or 23rd) (RNY)
Marianne - August 25th (RNY)
Sian - August 25th (RNY)

 Still waiting for a call back but I ran into KAREN at my work and she says hers is August 10 th ...tomorrow i get my cpap!!! looooooking forward to it!

Hi Ladies,

I was wondering where you were Sara....They should be calling you soon.

Hey Sian, could you let me know what kind of surgery everyone is scheduled for too. I'm curios if I am the only sleeve.

PS. August is a busy month for our class! Hope we can add some more names to the August list


Becca 

I sure can. Updating right now.

Hi Sian,

I read it the same as you. I thought we would have to get more labs done. I hadn't gotten a call from kaiser about it yet. I asked a friend if she had to get hers re-done before surgery, she said no. I guess, if we have had them done recently, then we are good.

Hooray for no fasting and no ****t'n on a paper plate (if ya know what i mean).

And no $119.00 co pay

Well, we may not have to crap onto  a paperplate, but we still get to enjoy a good ole fashioned colon cleaning the day before surgery!

Let's all cheer for Milk of Magnesia!
