So today was my pre op appt. I got there at 9:35am and was called in to do the rest of my paperwork for the hospital paper work, and sign in blood and fork over my first born......

Then I was called back in to the room where they ask you about past present and future issues......

Meds I am on, and how much I take. The "God" who puts me to sleep rushed in and talked about things, and then said see you thursday morning...... ! The vampire.... hee hee..... took 8 vials first and then came back in and forgot to do a type and screen. 4 more vials sucked from my being.

So, that was my day in a nutshell. Drove 2 hours up and 2 hours back. I should be all set for thursday. I can't wait to be there and set for surgery!

I am tired from all the driving.

The good thing is that there is plenty more where that came from, and believe me, they will come back for more later. It is a good thing for them to do a pre-op test of all your blood work, so they'll have a baseline to compare to down the line when things like cholesterol and sugar levels and such improve.

wow what a vampire....Im still getting the paper work going, Im kinda scared but my health is deteriating and I believe the main factor is this weight....my dr is Hamm....has anybody had any dealings with him?...I probably wont get my

band until 2009....in the mean time I just try to get the Insurance co. to say GO FOR IT.

Im from Forney but work in Plano so dr Hamm seemed like an ok dude to me.
