HI all.

Yet again been so busy no time to be online. I am bout to get time off work though. Yesterday was my preop visit. Found a new insight to ppl i give PO contrast to for CTs. YUCK... I hated that it made me ill the min i drunk it. In that they found out i have a small Hiatia hernia (was told np the dr will fix it when he does my band) Also they took my bp after the uper gi and found it was high So now i gotta go see my family dr to get medical cleared (this is not a problem) I plan on doing that tue morning, she is a friend of mine so i know it wont be a problem. Other then that i am ready to go. I did get one nice surprise I asked since i drive 2 1/2 hours to see my surgeon if anyway i could do my pre surgery visit by phone and he agreed. So i talk to him wen then the next wen May 2, at 830 am is my Time i get to start a new chapter of my life. Yayyyyy I am excited.

Did you get the medical clearance you need today?

It's great you can complete your pre-surgery visit by phone. My surgeon doesn't do pre-surgery visits, but I wish he did. I have a couple more questions I'd like to ask him. His nurse practitioner conducts small group meetings to go over pre-op and post-op information and to answer general questions.

May 2 will be here soon---I am so happy for you!

Yes Elizabeth i did get the clerance today and faxed it to my drs office. Today is the day the surgeon calls me. I am waiting for that and i started my preop diet. I had half a banana and a slim fast 1 2 3 for breakfest gotta say tasted good and i am pretty satisfied.

Deb I'm so excited for you!

I forgot, they found a Hiatia hernia during my surgery as well. Fixed me up and sent me on my way. I know some ppl suffer bad from heartburn but I haven't at it once since the surgery. Wonder if it's from getting that fixed. Either way, nice they took care of it and did it for free too.

The surgeons phone call took all of 2 mins today. He said my labs was all great and that as far as he is concerned he will see me next week bright and early for my band to be placed. I am now though all the hurdles. And so far today the diet has not been bad at all...

we need a little clapper Smiley!
