My FOUR HOUR LONG pre-op was today. They made me into swiss cheese not being able to find a vein. I am bruised and sore. Oh well, it is worth it. I start my liquids tomorrow. Anyone else on pre-op?

Aveamora....EXACT same thing happened with me at my pre-op on Wed. The lab tech could not for the life of her find a vein, then when she finally did she forget to take the second vile of blood and had to start all over again...ay yi yi!! My pre-op was also 4 hours. It was LONG but very informative. I've been on pre-op for almost 2 weeks and have lost 12lbs!! The first couple of days are tough but stick with it...IT DOES GET EASIER!! I know that being on the pre-op diet is going to help me tremendously when I transition into the post-op phase. OMG...only 4 more days until my surgery. I hope I'll be shaking by booty with joy like Miss Diaz is...LOL

I met with my surgeon this week, and am just awaiting approval from the insurance company (from which I have a verbal approval with approval number).

I can't wait for a surgery date!!

I'm on Medifast since Wednesday (I think we have the same surgery date?).

Sorry about the terrible blood draw, that happened to me getting an IV once when I was in labor. Needless to say I was not amused with my bruised and football sized hands while in labor! Ugh!

You're right, it will be worth it!

Who is next up for their surgery? Just want to make sure we are rallying support for EVERYONE!!

My surgery date is February 5th. I got really lucky and the same day my approval from the insurance came through, the Barix Clinic had a cancellation. They asked me if I wanted it...you bet I did!! ;)

This talk forum has been absolutely fantastic-with support and tips and just calming any fears and answering any questions!! I have learned a lot and think I am ready for what may come...

Thank You, Everyone!!

Best of luck to all those having surgery in the next few days!

I'll be looking forward to hearing how you are doing ;)

And Baby Ruth, I agree . . . this forum is amazing! I feel very fortunate to be a Victorious Valentine! Such wonderful support!

Okay so its Monday just like every other except I am having surgery and its because I want it?!?!?:rolleyes:

This is something a crazy person would do. . .but know I am sane (well, maybe not sane but definitely not certifiable):biggrin:.

This time tues. I will be on the losers bench a little sore but there none the less:lol:!

Can I join you all?!?!?

I would love to know I am not in this alone! My surgery is 2.15.2008.

You are in. Welcome to the gang! Your surg is the day after mine. :rolleyes:
