OMG! This week begins the pre-op testing. Wednesday I have my EGD and Thursday I have my echocardiogram, stress test, chest x-ray and labs. Then next week I have my surgeon's consult where I guess we will be scheduling surgery and my upper GI. OMG! OMG! I am so close to surgery it's starting to freak me out a little bit.

Wow...things are moving along for you...how nice! I just had my RNY on 2/09 and am so glad! In the end I think everything went quickly...but at the time that last month before surgery dragged on....If I can help with any questions please feel free to write. I am excited for you and hope all your preop testing goes well!

All you anxieties and fears are normal. I had a lot of them before my surgery. This link is to my blog entry that I wrote the night before my surgery. http://jfabulous43.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/talk-me-down-off -this-ledge/

DORTHEA-hang on to your socks-you are in for the ride of your life..full of ups/downs/emotions running amuck/etc/etc...I'd be concerned if you WEREN'T "freaking out a little bit". You are about to change your whole life!

The pre-op stuff can be the most stressful part of the journey. Feel free to come here, to vent, as often as you need to...

Godspeed!
