Sending my positive vibes to you! Stick to your veggies and fruits if you can! Best of luck! Hopefully Irma will go off track back into the ocean side of things

Don't stock shakes. Your taste might change after surgery and you will hate some flavors.

The workaholic in me is afraid of being off that long! I also work in the medical field and my patients give me life. I think I will miss them... I won't, however, miss my coworkers! Lol!!!

Since no one else is speaking in plain English tryingbeing nice...
The sleep Apnea machine requirement and the whole sleep study is so you don't die on the table.
This is major surgery and you need to be in the best health possible before you have surgery. Anesthesia is dangerous. It is the same reason why they make people do pre-op diets so their livers are smaller to make surgery easier.
This isn't just some random hoops, these are for your safety.

I hear you! Venting is encouraged, and sometime mandatory on here.

Thanks so much! When people say this is the "easy way out" it is not in the least. You still have to eat right and exercise.
Make sure you take those Vitamins everyday. Your labs will show if your not. I've never missed a day. Its a part of healing I truly believe. They will also have you on 3 months of stomach meds to insure you don't get an ulcer. Finish all that. It's important.

I'm happy to stay in touch and help with whatever. my email is: obxshell89@gmail.com

It's normal to be afraid. ALL surgeries come with some pain. I recommend discussing your fears with you anesthesiologist the day of as well.

I was done 8/31 and had lots of pain the first 3 days but it started after I was in my room and my surgery had some technical difficulties that made my incisions more painful. Also they did a spinal block as well which helped.

This pain is a small price to pay for long-term success in my opinion.
