Tomorrow is my testing (pre-op I guess)



Recommended Posts

and I'm nervous as hell. I was totally fine...until today. Sheesh. I'm sure it's normal... but I feel like i have goose bumps all over. I'm not even sure if I'm afraid and of what really...that they will turn me down? well I figure if they do, it's for a good reason...that they wont and thus starts the real journey? I don't know. Heck I'm not even sure if I'm putting this thread in the right place. lol

Sorry... It just hit me and I needed to talk because I feel like crying.

Tomorrow's testing:

pre-admin test (?)

anesthesia consult

barium swallow (?)

echocardiogram

EKG

Nutrition consult

Exercise consult (is that about what I do now or what i should do after wards?)

then the end of the day testing (?)

thanks for letting me get my nerves out here and listening.

Tomorrow evening all of it will be one less thing you have to worry about. You will be fine!!! Keep your eye on the goal. If this doesn't work out, you are right, it happened for a reason.

I cant believe I was worried...it was so easy and the staff was great. Now I'm just waiting for the doctor to get back with me to see if everything was good to schedule up the procedure or if it wasn't and why.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
