Its all becoming real now....preop testing tomorrow!

Oh my!!! Preop testing tomorrow...labs, Chest Xray, EKG and Upper GI. Its all becoming so real...exciting, nervous, stressed, worried...but mostly ready to start my new healthy life!! My last 2 worries are that something will show up on preop that will delay my surgery or that my liver won't be small enough surgery day....

  • Prepping testing done! So far so good! EKG was good, upper GI just showed a mild hiatal hernia but he said its pretty common.

  • Good luck to you and let's hope the surgery/weight loss will take away the diabetes!

I totally agree...good luck with the tests...just had mine yesterday and today 3rd day of preop diet...I cheated and ate 3 of my kids chocolate for vday! Ahhhhh

Had my preop last Friday and surgery Monday! My surgeons do the upper GI just before surgery ....wonder how different that is? Any issues and they abandon surgery! I.e. you've eaten and there's food in there it like me have gastroparisis (sp?) And fear there will be food there!

Btw, we also have a lot on common, not only r our surgery dates the same, but I have pcos since I was 12 and am insulin resistant and take metformin. Pcos is a major reason I am doing the sleeve, however I wonder if pcos will slow our weight loss down a s compared to other women who don't have it. What do you think? Btw, I have 70 lbs to lose to get to my goal.

I doubt it. . Im 50 now and my pcos turned into diabetes 15+ years ago. I was super successful losing weight on low Carb. ...just couldn't stick with it long term!
