Well, I am almost there now.  I've done almost all of my required pre-op testing.  The only thing left to do is the sleep study, which I will do on Tuesday night.  I've received clearance from everyone else, so I should be hearing something very soon once insurance approval is submitted.  I'm getting very ecxited but more nervous than I ever imagined.  I can only assume this is perfectly normal.  I've started getting prepared for the road ahead.  I order my protein, my vitamins, and have gotten almost everything on my "needed" list from the nutrition class.  My two week liquid diet is going to be a killer, I am sure.  I need to start thinking creatively with food.  I wish there was an area on OH that had recipe swaps - maybe there is and I just haven't found it yet.
