April Dates

Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

I'm so jealous of you right now! lol :) and that's kinda messed up, huh? Happy Easter!!! Mine is tomorrow. The actaul surgery. I'm so looking forward to not being hungry!

:ahem: this will make me blush while typing. So, my hospital wants me to wash with some soap for 2 nights before surgery, then on the morning of surgery. It is some vile, nasty, pink, open the shower curtain and hope you still have lungs when your done, disgusting soap. She told me "put it everywhere from the neck down and wait two minutes". So I said, Everywhere? "Yes, everywhere and wait two minutes before you wash it off. We're trying to keep you from developing staph and everyone has staph on their skin. So it's a good precaution" and I'm thinking...I bet I don't have as much staph as this place, I hope you washed the place down too...but of course, that's me being bi**chy and nervous. I know that. So I read the label she put on it. Put on the neck down wait two minutes before rinsing. Okay.

I put it EVERYWHERE. Then I was like....man. This kinda burns. So I leave it on two minutes and rinse....then I look at the bottle. "Do not use on genital area."

Oh. I really do hope my lady bits are going to be okay. It made me itch all over too. Still itching. So not a fan of that soap.
