The process was longer than I expected (started everything in November) but I am so happy now to finally have a date to look forward to. My surgeon is typically booked out for 6-8 weeks and is going on vacation for a good chunk of September. So, I'm glad I squeaked in.
I have a 10 day pre-op diet that actually isn't too bad - one meal with no carbs then Protein shakes for 2 meals. It'll start right after my hubby's bday, so that works out perfectly. We may even roll our anniversary into the celebration because I'll be 2 weeks post-op for that.
September 5th is a Wednesday, I'll be in the hospital probably until Saturday morning (or at least until Friday night). I plan to take that next Monday - Wednesday off from work then my manager is letting me work from home for a week (so Thursday - Wednesday). That might actually work out as I'll be back for 2 days then have another weekend to rest.
Anyone want to be buddies?
