Shaun: It won't be as long as it has been, I promise!! I have been on this journey since May of last year. You will get there!!!! And . . . it will be fabulous!!!!!

Hugs,

Me too!Surgery June 1. I am starting liquid diet for three days.

How's that going with you?

I can't have protein shakes just SF jello and popscicles.Let's keep in touch.

Cool!! Is Dr. Nease doing your surgery? We should stay in touch because I know me, I will need the encouragement.

They have not given me a pre-op diet yet. But I will find out on the 5th of June what they expect. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

My surgery is June 1 ,2009 at 7:30 am.Hope yours goes well.I start clear liquids tomorrow.

It is already starting to stress me out.I wish Monday was already here.It will be worth it though I'm sure.

I am having surgery with Dr Brown in Denver ,Colo.Denver is four hours from my home.We are staying in Denver three days to make sure all is ok.I can have my fills in Grand Junction as he is starting to do surgeries there.It is only 2.5 hours away.He gives 2cc fill at four weeks.

Yes, it will be worth it!!!! I am sure of it. If you are anything like me, it will be wonderful to be able to walk up and down steps without turning sideways cause you are scared your knees will go, or be able to get out of your car without pushing yourself up with the steering wheel. These are all things I won't miss at all.

You will be in my prayers for June 1!!!!

Childcare, we are on the same day. Big difference is I've been on liquid diet for almost two weeks(with a few indisretions), but I can have soup, yogurt, V8 juice). So it hasn't been so bad but now the only thing stressing me is trying to get things done with work and mowing law (if it ever stops raining) before Monday and getting house cleaned because my daughter is coming out to take me along with her new little boy-toy( she was banded Feb 08). So not my choice of when i would want to meet her "friend," but oh, well...:smile:

Good luck!! We're all on the downhill side now.

Mine is on 6 june 09, i am scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared..........

I am scheduled for June 4th - though the doctor's office called Friday and left a message for a call back. I would be devastated if they delayed. Not because I can't wait - but because I don't want to do another day of this horrible liquid diet.

I'm getting the VC filter on Tuesday - a bit nervous about that....

called the doctor - they didn't reschedule. Got the filter today. My neck is sore but really, the procedure wasn't that bad. I've also discovered that the soup at Panara is great for the liquid diet. The onion (minus the cheese and croutons) is yummy! and they have a low fat strawberry smoothie that is wonderful. The nutrition info is available on line.

My husband had his surgery yesterday and he is very sore and in pain. They kept him over night. He got sick after they told him to sat up on the side of the bed and when they did he got really sick and started throwing up and trying to anyway. Since there was nothing in him to begin with. At the beginning of the surgery they will give you a shot of medication of blood thinners. Well, when he tried to throw up because of the medicine he started bleeding out his surgery sites which are about 4 or 5 different sites and his blood pressure got low. Let's just so I was very scary time for me and for him. He is home now and is in alot of pain hopefully all of this will be worth it. I pray to God so. My husband goes by the name on here I believe toolman. He wishes all of you the best...
