So I got my insurance approval about a month ago, then this past Tuesday I had my pre op testing. It took almost 6 hours. I walked in and the registration lady handed me an itinerary of all my testing followed up by a nurse practitioner. I having RNY @St Vincent Carmel Indiana with Dr Cacucci. I went to the hospital at 6:45 and got home about 2. All is good though. I hope I never have to drink Barium again! All the bending and sitting and standing killed my poor back. I have a nerve that flares up every now and again and of course it has been horrible lately. I got home walked the dogs and I was just done. Didn't eat dinner, laid there like I was a stiff board. Then woke up at 7:40 and realized I missed support group and I was so sad. That is when I realize how much support group has come to mean to me. I hope everyone finds a support group locally to help them. Ours is wonderful. Now I'm waiting on my surgery date. Praying for the last week of Sept mainly for work scheduling purposes!

Good luck with everything. Keep us posted.

Good luck & all the best
