Wow... today is the 11th and I go for my pre op testing. My surgery is exactly one month away. It is starting to feel real.

I just got Approved and my surgery date is May 2nd. YAYYYY! I go Thursday for a 2 hour nutrition class then next Wednesday for my pre-op testing at the hospital. Can anyone tell me what this testing consists of? I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this Sunday.

For me I had to get blood drawn, xray and an ekg. I also had to follow up with my PC Dr. And go over my current medications. Prior to all of the I had to get a GI test

It was blood drawn, urine sample and a chest X-ray for me. I had already done an ekg in my previous appt.

I'm May 2 as well! I start liquid diet Monday morning... I haven't had my pre-op yet either. That's 4/26 for me.

I got my call from the insurance on Friday, and today I talked with my surgeons office. Scheduled surgery is May 4th. Only have a liquid diet for the night before but I'm choosing to do a few extra days. I'm so bummed I didn't get in towards the end of April but happy it was approved nonetheless. [emoji847]

Well, I'm having the sleeve done on May 1! I was originally scheduled in November 2016 but had to cancel last minute due to complications from diabetes. Hey, so I'm in a Facebook group for November 2016 sleevers and just stayed in it to see how everyone was progressing. Might be nice if we made a May 2017 Sleevers group on Facebook? I didn't see any when I searched so far. Just a thought.

      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!!
