Congratulations! What a great way to start the year! The couple of days in the hospital will do you well.

Now that we are in the new year, I am officially counting down the days until my surgery! I have all of my pre-op tests done, and the only thing left for me to do is have my final pre-op appointment with my surgeon on January 5.
When I spoke with my surgeon's nurse last week, she said I will be on a liquid diet for one week pre-op, and clear liquids one day before the actual surgery. She also said that I will have my surgery on Tuesday, January 17, and I will be required to stay in the hospital for 2 nights, so I will be released to come home on Thursday. As much as I would love to come home quickly, I am kind of happy that I will be staying for a few days in order to make sure everything is ok before I head home. Especially after reading about all of the different complications that people have run into after their procedures. Hopefully mine will go smoothly, but if not, I will at least be in the hospital for a couple of days to get pain relief and other support as needed.
January 17 cannot come fast enough! I just want to be through this and on the other side. Researching the entire process is consuming my every thoughts right now! This group has been so helpful with informing me of what to expect, good and bad, and how to prepare for post-op.
