I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

Packing my bag now! Bringing a robe, socks, Chapstick, lotion, face moisturizer, my bariatric bible, phone with pics of my kids and charger, and bringing my right to send my fiancé to buy anything else I need when he comes to visit...

Glad for you @@SookieLei . Wishing you the best of outcomes! Let us know as soon as you feel like posting how you are doing! 1 week behind you!!

@@Jenaenae84 Good luck. Let us know how everything goes.

My surgery is 10/15, just started pre-opt liquid protein diet today. I'm excited and kind of nervous. It's been a long road to travel, and I know a long road to complete this journey! I can't wait!!!

They only had to stick me ONE time when they took my blood today!!!! And I barely felt it!!! No tears.....it was a good day!! Pre op is done!!!

So glad to hear that @@edie091371! I know that was something that worried you. My hope is that they are used to finding our shy veins and it won't be as big a deal as it is at some places.

I called the surgeons office today just to make sure everything was in order. It wasn't. It is a good thing I called. They were still waiting on the results of one blood test that my PCP's office swore they did but had not sent the results to the surgeons office yet. Come to find out they never did that test. I had to go down there, get the test and hopefully they will get the results. Let that be a lesson to those that have not made it this far. Call, call, call your surgeons office to ensure everything is in their hands. What would have happened if I hadn't called? I could have gone to the hospital just to be turned away and had my surgery postponed.

Wow @@395Ron . I am so glad you called to find out!! Getting postponed would be heartbreaking.

I found out today that my surgeon is will to keep me in the hospital a couple of days extra if I feel I need it. That was very comforting. I was worried about going home too soon! I feel that everything is in order but will call Monday morning one more time to be sure!!

How did everyone do today? I can't find the darn list or I'd name the individuals, but I hope if you read this, you came through with flying colors and have already been up and walking around!
