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!

    I go on Thursday for a clinical seminar with the RN to go over what to expect before and after the surgery as well as what to expect the first couple weeks after surgery and then after that I go for all the pre-op testing (EKG, bloodwork etc). Then a week from today I go in for the Upper Gastroscopy. Things are moving quick now that I have gotten the approval and date of surgery. Anyone feeling anxious? I am so excited but so nervous.

    I've noticed a lot of people saying they have purchased isopure. Is that because your surgeon suggested it? Or because of another reason? Just curious. :)
