  • I confirmed on Monday, March 2 going to get sleeved!

  • Hi Everyone. I apologize I have not been on. I had my surgery on Monday and had my IV's in for my liquids and pain meds. Day 2 was rough for me. I could not handle sips of water or oral pain meds. Eve

    My daughter turns 21 tomorrow and up this point, it has been all about her. So, I decided 2015 was going to be all about ME! I'm scheduled for March 3, 2015!!!

For me, my pre-op was looking at my overall health...doing blood work. My Vitamins and stuff like that. They also looked at my thyroid and cholesterol. I had an EKG and a chest X-ray. I'm with @defitvt though, they are looking to see if you cheated...that is funny!

I have my preop on Monday! Sounds like they take blood, urine, and talk through the procedure. Anyone know what they are testing for?

My surgery is scheduled for March 24th but I'm not at OCC though! :)

March 26 @ OCC. Would love to connect with anyone who has surgery around the same time.

So I have surgery in 6 days! I had my pre-op yesterday and they did blood testing to figure out what my blood type was and a urine test to make sure I am not pregnant. I figured since I am on my period this week that it would be a pretty straight answer, but I understand them wanting to be sure. Which let me tell you.. The universe is getting back at you for something if you go on your period the same time you are on a liquid diet. I seriously do not know how I am able to interact with people without losing it!!

I hear you Spicy06! I haven't had my period in a year (I'm 46) and it decided to visit me this past week, with surgery tomorrow. I've been doing a lot of hiding in my room in the evenings so I don't hurt anyone's feelings with my crankiness :D The rest of the day is a different matter - lol.
