I've been so busy for the past week (flying home last minute for funerals, and work) I haven't really had time to think about surgery. This week has gone by so fast, and I can barely beleive that in 6 days (May 11th) I will be having surgery.

I'm starting to freak out a little bit. I want to make sure that I have everything done regarding pre op testing and insurance. When I went to see my Surgeon Monday, he looked at everything and said I had everything done, and that the partnering Hospital would be in touch with me to let me know what else needs to be done. Since my Surgeon contracts with the hospital it all seems kind of confusing to me.

So I've called the Hospital, set everything up with pre registration, and now just spoke with the Nurse in pre admission. While talking to her, she actually told me my surgery will be in the morning, not the afternoon like I was told. She also told me that I did have to go in for pre op testing. So now that's scheduled for tomorrow.

Now I'm a bundle of nerves. Has everything actualyl been taken care of?

Someone please ease my racing mind!

You will be fine! My surgery is on May 13 in Mexico so I know how apprehensive you can feel...

Once you have done your Pre-Op stuff, you will officially be done - all that will be left is the surgery. Just make sure to have whatever your going to take day of surgery, and you have the stuff you will need when you get home, like the Protein powders for your shakes, and all the liquid stuff you will need.

Good luck, being a bundle of nerves is normal, I am there right now, as my surgery is Monday May 9th

Keep us posted on how things go.

Who is your surgeon, I am going to Dr. Almanza on 5-25.

I can totally relate! I am dotting my i's and crossing my t's to make sure everything is being taken care of and that I have purchased everything needed. My surgery is on the 16th and I have my hospital pre-registration next week. Sounds like you are on top of things and that it is all being taken care of. Good luck and can't wait to hear all about it!

Thanks for the support!

After getting my pre op testing done on Friday, I am feeling much better. I can't beleive in two days I will be beginning a new journey!

Good luck to you all getting sleeved this and next week
