Approved! Surgery is on for 1/31!

I called my Drs office today to see if I was approved as I have to line up help for my kids and I did not want to do it unless surgery was a definite go. And I had been approved! Yikes. This is getting real.

Tomorrow I go to my PCP to get my surgical clearance and then that's it. WOW. I am scared, nervous and ready!!

Now to get the remainder of things for the Pre-Op diet, do my measurements, before pics, get some food made and frozen for DH and the kids.

Congrats!!!! :)

While you are recovering I think it is an excellent time, when available, to send the hubby & kids off to aunites or granny's to eat. :P

Thanks everyone! I am sure the Grnadmas will help, once I tell them about the surgery. But, my kids have special needs so eating at home is just easier on us all.

I am soooo nrvous.. My mom is going to be mad. I am almost 40 and I am worried about telling my mom!

Good Luck and Congrats! I'm on 1/30 - feeling nervous as well!

hi Dana...look like we will be sleeved on the same day,,,,congrats!

Today i completed my pre op exams. i had to drive 3 hrs to the hospital and i had blood drawn, urine sample, ekg, chest xray and talk with nutritionist. i didnt have to do the test where they insert a cam down my throat and look at my stomach,(whew). now i just have to wait to the 31st for my sleeve day, i will be getting the spider technique with 1 incision. i will stay in the hospital for 1 day and released the following day. then i will have a 3 hour ride back home after surgery. the nurse said i will have to stop each hour and walk to keep my stomach from getting stiff. i hope and pray i am in minimal pain.
