Im at my pre op apt. so happy im moving closer to my date...

What all do they do at this appointment?

LUCKY!! I haven't had one yet wish I could help. Good luck and afterwards you can inform us

hope you have a great day, lots of tests and questions and stuff I am sure, don't remember from when I had the band. But it is still one more day closer and feels like you are doing something besides just waiting.

Tell us all about it later.

For me it was when the doctor gave me all the time I wanted to ask him questions. He kept saying you sure you have no more questions? I laughed to myself because I had done so much research and asked so much in here I kinda did not have many questions. My hubby did ask when we could have sex but other than that it was just info about what to expect during and right after surgery basically. Then I had to go get some blood work done, an EKG done and filled out a lot of forms including consent for surgery forms and given the advanced healthcare directive to complete and return on the day of surgery. Other people had different things happen so it does depend on your surgeon. Good luck this was one of the easier appointments and most exciting.

What a beautiful smile.

The doctor that can in to talk to me was not my Sergeant, it was some other doctor. One of the first things she said was "you don't look like you need this surgery." I wanted to pop her up side her head. If I didn't need it I wouldn't be here! SMH that's what I expect to here from my friends and family that I'm not telling about it, for this reason... I've loss weight and gain and loss, I'm do tired of the yo-yo cycle. I just can't believe she actually said that to me.

I had someone say that to me too. But I am 5'8 and weigh now 273. I am like what are they seeing I'm not? So after she said that what happened?

She asked what my BMI was I told her 40 she asked my weight and I told her 5 10. She looked it up and said well you are just at 40. Then she went ahead with the other questions.

Well if you look this good now. Just think how you will be in a couple months

Lol...it's only because in tall, if I were just a little shorter it would be a totally different story.

can't believe she said that. But take it as a compliment. Some people, if they had walked a mile in our shoes......

She's a butt head

Agree

Height masks weight very well. I was 315 at my highest weight and everyone used to lie and tell me how I wasn't that big . But then again I am now 100 lbs lighter and now their telling me I'm TOO thin... I've just learned to ignore the comments and keep my eye on my goals.

Congrats on your pre-op appointment! Not much longer now!!!
