My day started at 8 AM this morning, with EKGs, pre-testing, blood work, meetings with surgeon, etc. End result, I am approved for surgery on November 20! Added bonus? Had my scans and xrays for my bladder cancer today, all clear!

What a relief!!

Woo hoo! Congratulations!

Fantastic!

I am a cancer survivor as well, (prostate, diagnosed 2009). I was told dumping the fat helps the odds. So far so good!

Congrats!!! How exciting!!

This is terrific!! I am so happy for you!!

CONGRATULATIONS Best wishes and don't forget your pre-surg dieting - it really helps make your operation and recovery much-much easier!

My pre-surg diet is high Protein low carb regular food, no eating after midnight day before surgery....and post op is pureed foods before leaving hospital.

That's so awesome!!! I had my 1 year cancer check this morning at 9! I'm going to be stressed for the next week til I go back and hopefully get good news. I think I may be a pint low on blood lol they took 14 tubes today. I go back Monday to get results and then get sleeved on Thursday.

So happy for your good report.

they make you wait a WEEK to get results? I would not survive the wait. I get my scans and xrays and then go to urologist where she's already read the scans!

Yeah I know it's crazy! My WBC is still high as hell so they are running a lot of test and scans. I'm just keep positive and try not to have a mental break down I'm sure when I have my pre op blood work done my surgeon will **** when she's see my WBC. It's going to be a fun week around here

No fun. I'm 2.5 years out now and still am a wreck for my scans. I discussed with surgeon what would happen if my scans came back bad. He said the cancer would take priority over the surgery.

I hope it all turns out well for you!!
