Since there seem to be quite a few of us now, I thought we should have our own place to talk. I start my preop diet tomorrow. I get 1 meal of meat and veggies, 2 shakes and unlimited jello. Is anyone else just on liquids?

I forgot to ask how they are going to get you admitted and prepped in under an hour?! They are fast!

Oh, I've already done my admission paper work. They had me do that last week. I just show u to surgery, get changed they said they will start my iv, have me verify my info like six times and the team will all sign my belly. The nurse will be me a blood thinner **** in my belly and Then I get taken back at 710 into or. I'm having mine done at a military hospital. Maybe that's why they work a little different. They had me draw labs again yesterday and I guess I just show up now. The nurse just called me to make sure only clear liquids after noon today and to wash my skin four times tonight with fragrance free soap.

Hoping I will have an October date . I have to have my EGD this Friday and a final nutritionist consult Oct 2nd. Ready to have my surgery date so that it will seem real !

Does everyone have to have EGD done ?? Yuck

I have my pre-op on 9/25 but they haven't said anything about a pre-op diet.

If u don't mind me asking , do you have to have a EGD test done ?

Ok finally done with preregistration and lab work and EKG, I got the green light for surgery tomorrow morning, arrive at 8 and surgery is at 10. Almost there!!!

I did my paperwork, labs and chest xray yesterday too! Oh well, I'm sure ill be too wired and jittery to sleep in plus Atlanta traffic is heinous!

How's everyone doing? I know we're all excited and nervous!! I feel like I could scream right now on ye inside. I keep picturing what it's going to be like going into the or. Anyone else doing this?

Anyone else have to do a bowel cleanse? I have to drink 10 oz of magnesium citrate. Lemon flavored, and this stuff is sour!
