One of the Dr's wives went into labor on Oct 10th around 10 pm. My Dr called after my bowel prep and said he needed to postpone it. I wish she had went into labor BEFORE my bowel prep lol.. I'm not looking forward to that again but at least I know what to expect.

We had a hard time working with my schedule and theirs but finally ended up with a new date of Nov. 11th.

Thanks for asking. : )

Aww...that really sucks! Well, I wish you well until then and I will be thinking about you on Nov. 11th.

But I do have one question, what is a bowel prep? I just wondered because it sounds pretty scary...lol

Lol. Not scary, just yucky. I had to drink 32 Ozs of this stuff starting at 6 pm on the 10th. I drank 8 Ozs every 15 mins until it was gone. Then at 9 pm, I started with another 32 Ozs , drinking 8 Ozs at a time until it was gone. I had to stay close to a bathroom the whole evening. It cleans you out before surgery.

Congrats on your 80 lb loss! Good luck with your surgery also.

Ahh, I see....ok, that doesn't sound half as bad as what I was thinking of at first...lol. It's funny how different doctors do things differently. I don't have to do a bowel prep, but for 2 days before surgery I can only have Clear liquids, he says he has us do that to clean us out...lol

SW 413 CW 323 Surgery date 10/29

Yes, so many drs do stuff differently. I will also have to give myself shots to prevent blood clots for 30 days. I'm glad my insurance covered them. It was about $1,000 for 30 shots.

Good luck!

Yep I guess it is a trade off. I hadn't looked at it that way. LOL.

Started my liquid diet today! Will do the liquid diet today and tomorrow. Then I have to be at the hospital at 6am, surgery at 8am on Tuesday!! I am so excited and a little nervous! I can't wait to join the losers bench and begin my new life!! Good luck to everyone who has surgeries this week, I will be praying for you, please pray for me as well!
