Pre-Op appointment

Nov 21, 2011

I had my pre-op appt on Tuesday November 15th. Of course I had to weigh in and as I'm taking off my socks and shoes I'm dreading stepping on that scale. I reluctantly stepped on the scale and almost fell out when it showed that I had LOST weight. 14 1/2 pounds to be exact but still a loss. My BMI also went down 3 points. I was ELATED!!! My surgeon Dr. Melvin, who I think is the best thing since sliced bread, came in and asked if I had any questions and we chatted for a few and the nurse came in and finished giving me my folder of goodies and telling what to expect on surgery day. The dietician also came in gave me loads of info on vitamins and supplements. As a sidenote ask for samples these came in handy with the different kinds of proteins and vitamins that are available. I then went across the hall and preregistered for my big day. I had another EKG and talked to the NP and then I had to give blood and of course leave a urine sample. I am soooooo excited for my big day on Dec 5th....T minus 20 days.....stay tuned
