Got my pre op yesterday met with Dr. Hess and it looks like I'm ready to go. I have my final preop NUT next week and that's it. If you remember I was reconcidering the surgery because of the family. Well I have stuck to not speaking about it and it seems to be helping. Out of site out of mind it guess. I spoke to my Dr. about the issues I am having at home with the lack of support and he was a little upset that they are so against it. He offered to speak with them and explain what's going on and how I am not being selfish. He was great. I will have that talk with them and ask if they would like to do that (I don't want to waist his time if they are not ALL in).

Anyway I wasn't nervous at all yesterday they took a lot of blood and asked so many question about my backround and family history (AGAIN) They weighed me about 4 different times (glad I lost that weight he wanted me too). All in all it wasn't painfull just long. I was at Boston Medical for about 3 hours. I think this is why I wasn't nervous. Dr. Hess was very calming and made me feel that this the right decision and that I am not going to Die. I would rather be there for 3 hours and know they are doing everything they can for me then rush me in and out.

There was one thing I have an ulcer that I have to take antibiotics for 10 days. He said they are going to cut it out but because of bacteria I have to take the antibiotics. Anyone have that before?

Can't wait to get to on the looser's bench.............

I'll have to do the famous before shots.

glad everything went well for you!! I am 5 months away from my pre-op LOL but I was nervous until I read this!! Thanks for sharing!! I hope you get better SOON with the antibiotics!

Good luck! I have my final weight check on Thursday before it goes to my insurance for approval. Im so nervous and cant wait to be where you are with this process. Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your progress!!
