I am getting sleeved on 4/22. I just went through my pre-op last Friday. Everything went well. I have my insurance approval, my FMLA for work, enough time needed to take 4& 1/2 weeks off. A great surgeon & team of weight loss management people. Plus I love being a patient!!!! I am very excited about the new me that's about to occur. Is this strange not to have any doubts about this. I have some stresses going on in my life & somehow this is going to seem like a relief for me. Something to focus my energy on. And by the way 4/22 happens to be my birthday

I had surgery 2 days after my 66th birthday. At the time I did not realize what a gift I was given, but I do now.

Enjoy the whole experience, it is quite a ride.

What is the lab work they do during pre op

I had to get basic blood work. Your blood counts. I had an EKG, Chest Xray. They took about 3 vials of blood. I am a bad stick & they did quite well. They outlined all the meds I can take the night before & the day of. I cannot have anything after midnight prior to my surgery & my surgery is scheduled for 3:30pm. That's a drag but I will manage. i am so looking forward to this.

I'm a day behind you!! Best of luck!!

Thanks,Judy! We'll have to keep each other posted
