October 2014

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

Hi my name is Nikki, my surgery date is October 21, 2014. I start my pre-op diet on October 14. I'm so nervous and excited!

Hey Nikki, congratulations to you. I have the same emotions, I'm ready though. I'm nervous about how much my life is going to change. I'm trying to stay occupied by planning my 4 week liquid diet, pureed meals, and triple checking the things needed for aftercare. The only thing I'm focused on 24/7 is October 7th. I wish you best, we will do awesome!

I'm on October 23rd. Good luck with everything!

Grrrr. Got a call today. The surgery coordinator was off for a couple weeks. Apparently the person taking over for her messed up. My surgery was bumped from 10/6 to 10/14. Then my husband called and bitched. She called me back a few hours later and said they had a cancellation 9/22 if I wanted it. That's just a little toooo soon since I haven't planned for it, have patients scheduled, would have to start post op diet TOMORROW. She said she was going to offer someone else on 10/6 the earlier appointment and try to get me back on 10/6. Still haven't heard back from her! Soooooo frustrating.
