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?

CONGRATS!!! Yipppeeeee!!!

Glad you are doing well! Stay strong girl, and that hat picture is adorable!

Okay so i got to the hospital at 5am, and checked in. Then they took me to the Pre-op area where I got my IV started and hooked up to lactated ringers and antibiotics. Then I met the Nurse anesthetist, operating room nurse, and anesthesiologist. Each of them reviewed my medical history with me, asked about allergies and such. my doctor came in and said hi. Then they gave me some sedation and took me into the OR.

I woke up in recovery and had been there for about an hour and a half. My pulse ox and BP were continually monitored. I initially had some mild pain, about a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I have a morphine pump which I pressed every five minutes or so. When my room was ready they wheeled me there and my Mom was waiting for me.

my mom is a retired OR nurse so she and my floor nurse chit chatted for a whole, which was a bit annoying cause couldn't follow the conversation due to the morphine. After Mom left, I dozed on and off since then. I am not needing to push the morphine pump for pain. I only have a slight soreness now.

I have a catheter in and IV still. I just asked if I would be able to remove the catheter and go for a walk, but the doc wants me on bed rest today. No water or ice chips or anything until tomorrow afteR my EGD but they did let me brush my teeth thank goodness! My mouth is so dry.

Happy to hear it went well
