Hey Susan I am having mine in Ypsilanti with dr popkawski... nervous as h**l...

I agree about the Joe, comerica park and the palace... the seats were not made for my butt but soon they will be lol...

What is your preop diet? Don't know mine I go to see the doc the day you have surgery... I will be thinking of you that day

Hello my I am new to the site. I'm schedule for surgery 11-11-13. I don't go to class until 10-28 and the say I will be there most of the day. At that time I will be put on the pre-op diet as well. What does the pre-op diet consist of? Or is there a link where I can find this info? Thanks

Hello and welcome! Everyone's Pre-Op diet seems to be different. I know that when I had my last appt with the surgeon is when he told me what i would be having on my 2 week diet. Gave me options of different protein drinks that I will have to drink for those 2 weeks. Good luck!

I have my final appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow. Hoping she signs off but feeling anxious. Last we met the goal was early November.

How did your appointment go?

November 26th....so excited!!! Good luck to everyone.

Had my NUT appt today and went well. She did tell me she wants to see me one more time before surgery!! Was not prepared for that. I was told only 1 visit was needed. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow and the surgeon is supposed to submit all paperwork to insurance co tomorrow ! I emailed NUT and she assured me her paperwork will be submitted and all should be ok. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow and paperwork will be submitted with no delays ! This surgery needs to happen on the 4th !! Ready for the change.

I'm getting mine Nov 1st. I'm excited. I'm honestly just worried about the catheter !

We have to have a catheter?

Some ppl do. Not everyone. Depends on ur dr, so that would be a question to ask him.

I think so. Some people I've talked to have had it and some people haven't. So I'm just up in the air!

No worries about the catheter. Usually if you have to have one they will place one your knocked out!!

Thats good to know. I'm more worried about the iv!

NUT and consult apps tomorrow, yay!!! I can't wait to get this ball rolling!
