Pre-op appointment on Wednesday

So...I head for my pre-op appointment on Wednesday (surgery scheduled for 03.29.16). I have a couple of questions written down, but wanted to pick your brains. Are there any specific questions that you feel I should ask while there? I've already inquired about a drain, which my surgeon does not use. I'm also going to inquire about blood thinner shots and my actual time out of work so I can give my employer a better heads up. I've never been cut on, so this surgery process is something new within itself. And shockingly, I'm fairly calm about it all. However, I'm sure the nerves will really kick in once the big day gets closer. My preop liquid diet begins March 15th and I have pre surgery testing at the hospital on March 22nd. I think that with these appointments, it will definitely help this time go by much quicker.

    Argh! Too bad your date isn't April 6th! That's my birthday Happy early birthday though!!

    Is your diet 2 weeks? It's tough, but doable. I had a couple of breakdowns. But so happy to report that I have survived it. Lol

    Ah....surgery. It went okay. They had a tough time getting my pain under control in recovery. But I'm finally doing okay. The pain is a bit more intense than I was anticipating. And I want to say gas is the main culprit other than the one incision on my right which is pretty painful.

    How was your birthday and consult??

    Congratulations on your surgery!! I hope you are doing well. I still have 13 weeks left of the diet/exercise program and then I can meet with my surgeon. I found out yesterday that I have sleep apnea and will be needing another sleep study with the CPAP. yay. I am so very tired of waiting, I started this process in December and if feels like forever. I am still positive though and trying to slowly take pounds off. At least now I know that I have a co-morbidity with the apnea, so if I go under the 40 BMI I will still be eligible. Let us all know how things are going with your post op!

    Everything went great! I'm feeling great! Next Tuesday will make 4 weeks since my big day. I think I've hit the dreaded 3 week stall. But I'm not fretting it thus far. As long as I'm not regaining...I'm good! :)

    My surgery date ended up being the 18th so I had a 2 week liquid only diet and was sleeved Monday! After a rough couple of days (vomiting, not keeping down any Water, Protein, pain meds) things have started getting better day by day. I hope all goes well for you!
