My surgery is on Monday too..... I hope. I had my pre op yesterday and that Dr. called today to say that my EKG showed extra beats so my pcp wants me to see a cardiologist I have an appointment with the cardiologist on Thursday and hopefully everything will be okay and I can go ahead with the surgery on Monday as scheduled.

I'm so nervous it's gonna get postponed or canceled. I keep thinking in the back of my mind that this won't work, just like nothing else I've ever tried to lose weight has worked.

Hopefully the cardiologist finds everything to be ok and the both of us will be in the hospital on Monday starting our new adventures.

Well ready or not here I go! I'm at the hospital

July 24th for me. I went to my pre op nutrition class, surgical briefing and last doctors visit before the big day. Even though I don't start my prep until sunday, My wife and I have already made up a list of all the foods that I will need and she is going to make all of my low fat cream soups that are required. Much more healthy and alot cheaper. I have been looking at some of the crazy prices for all of the "bariatric friendly" foods and sometimes you need to put on the brakes and look at the situation. I am so glad that I have a partner like my wife Betty to help me with this transision.

July 16th is my date, nerves are creeping in

Tomorrow is the big day for me! I am feeling super nervous today. I feel the butterflies flying around in my soon to be smaller stomach. I can't wait for it to be over! I have lost 9 lbs on the liquid diet. My goal was 10. I am pretty short, so I am okay with 9. Heading to the store soon to pick up a new robe!

Our big day is 2morr our new Birthday !! So exciting.

I met my surgeon yesterday and feltcomfortable with him. Then had my last visit with the dietician til after surgery and signed my surgery contract. I started my liquid diet today for 9 days until surgery. I also have a cold, unfortunately!!!

I will have an upper GI on Friday as a last test and then an anesthesia consultation. My date is July 19!

Yeah another July 19ther :-) I have my pre op today. Then I have just a three day liquid diet before. But I might start early. Give me the best chance to be ready for surgery.

I think BCBS called yesterday to say they got my documents... my answering machine was off! DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!! LOL

I left the my cell phone number this time....

I have 5 days to go and I am so excited!!!!! I hope I don' t forget anything but man I am ready for something new. A new start. Good luck July sleevers.

Sweet!

Hope all is well! Sending positive thoughts!

I bet you're in post-op recovery now--thinking of you and sending wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks so much Vixynne! I just came home today. Doing great other than the head hunger. More difficult than I realized.
