Pre-op blah blah blah LOL

Oct 07, 2010

Wow where do I begin... My surgery is coming up on Oct. 14th. I am very very nervous but I am trying to keep it under control at the same time. I had my pre op last tuesday but I never met the Dr yet and my surgery is next week, lol. I might be meeting him a few days before if it all works out with his appts that he has scheduled or I guess I will have to wait til surgery morning. They told me to start my 2 week full liquid diet, which I only completed for a week so far but was then told today by another nurse to finish off my last week with only protein liquid diet and stop the full liquid diet.  That sucked to hear but I will do what I have to do , to have an easy surgery/recovery. She also said she expects me to have off 15-20lbs by surgery time... hmmmm Well lets hope or I guess they get what I can give haha. I am staying strict to it so I can not do anything more than what I am doing... I have so many things going through my mind about everything.. I do not even know where to begin or end. I really can't wait to ask the Dr some questions to ease some things I have on my mind. Like... How long does this surgery take if no complications? (Heard so far 2 hours and 6 hours) Now the nurse I talked to today told me that the surgery takes 2.5 hours unless complications/health risk/or/ fatty liver...hmm I hope I have none of the above!..what size bougie he uses? What should I do to heal correctly like I am suppose to? I know walking helps get rid of  the gas and heal but I want to see if there is more things to try... What is too much? I guess I just want some closure on the surgery... but anyway enough about me yappin, not like there is anything I can do if I do not see him because... 6 MORE DAYS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Move over and make some room on that loser bench cause here I come!!!!!!!!!! <3 Dee
