Hey all! Yep! My pre-op surgeon visit (this Tues.), and one more test (echo this Wed.) and that's it! Surgery is the 20th, and like almost everyone here, I'v had my doubts as well-but when I think of all the times I've lost only to regain more-the doubts stop!.
About the "pre-op" For me, I have to sub ONE protein shake a day the week before, then two days before surgery at 12:00 noon, start liquids(I believe this includes protein shakes as well,I'll re-read my instructions..lol..I think it might say just clear liquids:( Then, the night before(at midnight), NOTHING. What I CAN have AFTER surgery is ALOT more restrictive than a lot of the post-op's I've read, though...Good luck to all!!!!!!
Question? what can I expect at the pre-op meet with my surgeon?
