I think it was an inexperienced doctor. The head of the team will be doing it this time. Yes they are worried about it again, so they will be preparing me to have it done while awake, try it once while I am asleep and if they can't get the tube down, they will wake me up to do it. It is b/c I have obstructive sleep apnea and then once I am asleep everything relaxes and my throat starts closing up...

I was supposed to have my surgery on the 15th. Went in and they couldn't get the tube down my throat, so I have been rescheduled now to the 29th. Now I have to start all over AHHHHH.

Well I will see how it goes on Monday!!! Good luck to you on the 22nd.

Also wanted to know if they do before pics, or should I start keeping my own pics???

My wife is more scared than I am. She will be pacing the floor while I am in surgery, plus I will have to spend the night due to my sleep apnea.

I have never had surgery either sooo... Thank goodness I called Donna on Friday and she was asking how it was going I said oh crap...I already had lunch (no breakfast) so I switched it around. On Friday I only had lunch, liquids the rest of the days and then today, I had chicken and beef broth lots of water, so GatorAide, and tonight I had grilled chicken cutlets and corn. So tomorrow on to the full day of broth. Yummy! Hope me mixing yesterday up won't hurt me.

So how do you like him, the staff, anything I should be aware of. My wife is freaking out b/c of the surgery!!!! I go in at 7AM on Monday!! Do you go to the support group meetings??

We live in Malabar. Going in for my surgery with Dr. Fusco on Monday!!!
