Hi Nana!! Good luck to YOU!! I have pre/op tommorrow....did you do yours yet and what exactly did this entail? They told me to plan spending the day......ut oh!!

I didn't have to spend a day. It was a regular Dr appt with my PCP it took maybe 1hour total. Bloodwork, EKG & Chest Xray, that's it. Painless.

On Monday I see the surgeon for a preop visit, I take a anti nasuea pill the night before that he prescribed and nothing to eat or drink after 12am. Surgery is tentatively scheduled for 1:45pm.

Good Luck!

Why did you get a anti nausea pill? I tend to throw up after I get anesthesia and was wondering what to do. My doctor told me he would give me something when I leave. I should have been more specific. I tend to get sick before I get home. (2 prior surgeries)

My Dr Prescribed 1 Pill To Take The Night Before Surgery, It's Called "emend". I Hope It Works.

Ok- are all of you ready for tomorrow? I am. All liquids today. Everyone at work is being super supportive - they all brought food don't don't have to heat so it won't smell so good in here. I know I am blessed.

How is everyone today? Really want to hear from you if you are still up and around. I have to be at the hospital in the morning at 5:30 - my surgery is at 7:30.

I also wanted to ask - are all of you overnight stays or day surgery? When my sister did hers she was home that night. My doc requires an overnight.

Hey Texgirly....Me Too!! liquids all day...have to be at the hospital 5:30 for 7:30 procedure!! Overnight stay only because I have a tendency to clot. Hopefuly in 30 minutes my life will be forever changed tommorrow. It's 4:00 now and my stomach is rumbling..."feed me".....Good luck and stay in touch!

I have to be at the hospital by 10am, but I am not scheduled until the afternoon. I am calm, because I know this is a good thing, the right thing to do, but am nervous about when I wake up if pain or no pain, gas or no gas.

They weighed me yesterday, 231 lbs. YEAH!!, down 7lbs.

I pray for all of us to have a perfect surgery & speedy recovery.

Best Wishes,
