Who is scheduled for Jan 8th? I'm getting nervous

Hi January Sleevers. Are any of you scheduled for the 8th like me? I am getting really nervous! I've lost 10 lbs on my pre-op diet and feel pretty good. I just cannot believe this is about to happen. I would love to talk to some others who are going to the loser's bench on Tuesday!

Wow, you and I are having surgery the same day with the same doctor! Forest Park Medical Center? I'm pretty anxious, its only 3 days away now.

I am the 8th as well......so much to do before then! I am a teacher so it is pretty hectic!

I'm the 8th as well. Preop diet has been hard but effective. Down 15 since December 27, when I started it. Have 'cheated' once, with a small glass of champagne at midnight on NYE.

GOOD LUCK to everyone on Tuesday!

I got the call from Forest Park with some basic details but I won't know what time to report until I see Dr. Nick tomorrow. So exciting! I would be so happy if I had to report at 3:30 am--that means you are one of the first in line for surgery with your doc that day! I have a feeling I will be at the end of the day...

So you will be at the same hospital with myself and Blue Star Mom on Tuesday. Do you live in Dallas?

I meant to also add I don't live in TX. :)

Yes, they called me too! I have to be there at 5am, looks like you're first up :) The liquid diet isnt a problem really, I have zero appetite just thinking about Tuesday. OMG

Also I have a cold, no fever or chest congestion....but I have a head cold. Hospital says no problem unless I have a fever. I hope thats really ok, dont want to end up with pneumonia.

Hows it going for you?

Yes I will be at Forest Park in Dallas on Tuesday morning at 330am. Very early.

I meant to tell you my friend had her surgery done by dr. Nick and had a very good experience. I can see why you are traveling here to have it done. Good luck to you!

It's going good, I was originally suppose to have surgery on December 28th and got the flu on the 27th. They couldn't do surgery since I was running a fever. I was so disappointed because I had did very well on the liquid diet and then got sick. But now I feel really good and glad I rescheduled. I hope you feel better. Best of luck to you. Lets keep in contact so we can support one another!
