    Hi,

    Any updates? I am surely set for the 24th :) I was suppose to get an email today and I haven't. My coordinator is suppose to call me so we can make preop appointments (upper gi and some other stuff). I have to see the surgeon the day before my day. I also need to start a Protein shake diet today. Which I will start Monday :)

    Yep, I called and was told that everything is on schedule, and that I will get an email about 2 weeks before the surgery. I told them I'm available if they get a cancellation :)

    How are you doing?
