Hey there! Just had my surgery scheduled for 2/9. Glad to see I won't be alone! I was supposed to have surgery last Friday, but I was sick and had to reschedule. I can't believe (after 5 million hurdles and unforeseen stuff) that this is going to happen! Let's K.I.T. ????

Pre-op blood work did not go well. Went in at 9am and the nurse could not get any blood. She tried both arms and still nothing. She said I may be dehydrated.

They sent me to a lab tech for a second try in my hand and wrist still nothing. Needless to say both arms are sore and I'm drinking Water like crazy to try again tomorrow.

The good part is they have my urine sample and heart monitor results.

Tip: Drink plenty of Water before blood work.

Will report back tomorrow.

Sorry to hear they couldn't get any blood, that really bites - tomorrow will be better ????

Man, sorry to hear about the preop blood drawing nonsense. I just gave blood a few days ago (I give 4xs a year due to my RA), and make it a habit to chug a ton of Water before a draw. Learned the hard way a few times. ????

Has anyone on the preop diet been light headed? I will suddenly get light headed and then it goes away.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
