So I just got back from my pre-op......

Chest X-Ray

Upper GI

EKG

Lab work

Everyone was super nice! After I registered and did all my paperwork, tech called me to the back. Told me to get undressed and gave me two gowns, one for the front, one for the back. Now I've never had a chest x-ray or upper GI so I didn't know what to expect. Did the chest x-ray, easy. Had me lay down on the hard, metal table, did some more x-rays. Had me flip over on my stomach, then the fun began. He puts me in this awkward position with my head tilted sideways. Then he asked me, okay what would you like to drink? A White Russian? I laughed, he laughed! So I guess you have to drink it laying down so the liquid goes down slowly. So here I am, drinking this nasty, chalky "white russian" laying down on my stomach with my head sideways! Looking back at it now, I must have looked funny! Anyway it all was pretty painless. Went over what to expect on day of surgery and what to bring to the hospital. It's becoming so real now. Getting nervous and anxious. Only 4 weeks away!

I had to drink gas crystals? It was totally crazy and uncomfortable! Glad that's over for both of us!

OMG, me too! I forgot to say that. He made me shoot it like a shot. Followed by a sip of Water.....started fizzing in my mouth! Lol!
