Well I’m getting psyched up for my surgery on the second. The one thing that has me freaking out is that apparently I’m going to have to give myself injections of anticoagulant afterward…in my stomach….how did I miss this in the bazillion videos and posts I’ve pored over??? I have a high pain tolerance and I’m not afraid of much but I am a huge baby and terrified when it comes to needles. I may have to have my husband do it for me I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand it…gahhh, isn’t there just a pill for that? ???

Let the angels sing hallelujah, my surgeon said I can have a cup or two of black coffee in the mornings during my pre-op diet the next two weeks and post-op (if tolerated ok) - I can give up a lot, but coffee was going to hurt ?

Hello friends! I'm a lurker the last several months while I've been reading up on everything, fretting, and trying to be patient...but WHAMO I had my psych eval a couple of weeks ago and and as soon as that was done they scheduled me - I'm set for August 2nd and I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I saw my surgeon earlier today, and have a few appointments between now and the 2nd but it's almost here...!
