I met with my doc and had the info session last week. We scheduled my appointment with the surgeon for Feb 4th. I will finish my required 3 month diet and behavior modification program the end of January. After the appointment on the 4th they willsubmit for insurance and I hope to be under the knife on Feb. 20th. Can't wait

I wish I had a class like that as well. But I think I meet with my NUT 6 weeks post op and she'll go over that kind of stuff (hope so!).

Well last night I wasn't feeling great, achy, cold, tired, etc. I went to bed super early and I woke up today feeling like I have a cold and my ear are all plugged. This cannot have an impact on my surgery!!!! I cannot reschedule again, I'd lose it. Urgh. I think I might stop by the doc to have him look at my ears. I had an ear infection about 3 weeks ago. If he can give me antbx now it would be great. Surgery is Monday.

Kim, Hope you get feeling better fast. I am so afraid I will have something get in the way of my surgery. I am at 14 days to sugery.. no more solid food for a while. Claire, I will be praying all goes well Monday with your pre admit.

Nerves are getting to me. Liquid diet starts tomorrow...surgery Tuesday. Praying for strength.

Hi,

I am nervous enough and I am a whole week after you! Stay strong and let us know how you are after your surgery and keep in touch here until then. We all know what you are going through, because in different ways we all seem to be feeling anxious and concerned about it all. It will all be worth it in the end, or that's what I keep telling myself!

Take care

Oh Kim I do hope you feel better soon, That's all you need with your surgery so close. Thanks Ken for your message too, I hope I get some more info on monday. Planning is everything I think!

Take care both of you

Yes i finished my classes in Dec and my surgery date is 2/24/14 at west LA

I got some antibiotics as the doc thinks it's a sinus infection coming on. He's good to be helping me beat this. Hoping to get another good night's sleep. Can't believe only 3 more sleeps! I've been listing out a weekly planner for my husband.

Kim, So glad things are looking up. Pam (my wife) got her approval and is going for late March surgery. I should be all ready to help her then. She is being so good now..won't even eat in front of me. Don't think she will have the nerves I have, she will see how it goes for me.

Hello all. I am new to this forum. My operation is on 17 February and I am excited yet quite fearful as well. Any supportor tips are most welcome. In the meantime I am going to be reading a lot of the posts.

Hi,

Kim I am really glad that you have some antibiotics. I do hope that feel better in the next two days, then all set for Monday, I am thinking of you.

Ken, that is amazing that Pam's date is so close to yours. I think we are all feeling a bit nervous and jittery, I know I am!

Erin, I hope you are feeling ok before your op on Monday, I will be thinking of you

Doris, not long now I think these mixed feelings must be very normal ,looking at everyone eles's posts. I do find reading them so helpful. Mine is on the 11th so only a few days before you.

Take care all of you

Claire

Hi Dorisd, welcome. I'm glad you're here. My surgery is the 5th of feb. Just around the corner. You will find lots if support and information on here. Good luck with your surgery.

What is everyone bringing to the hospital with them? I mean I'm obviously bringing my phone and a robe and slippers but that's all I can think to bring. Anyone have any suggestions?

Blueyz80,

Good question. I thought I'd get a list from the hospital. I've noticed some in the past list plain Chapstick. I wonder why plain. I'm following to see some replays.

Tkauhi,

I never thought about chapstick that's a good one! I go to my support group meeting on the 12th of this month so I'll ask them what they think too! But I'm hoping to get a general idea before then.
