May 12, 2008 is my rebirth date! I will be having my lap band surgery at Osteopathic in Harrisburg, PA my surgeon is Dr. Matthew Davidson.

I dont have to follow any pre-op diet, except for eating light the day before and no eating the day of.

Well I've finally gotten my Nutritionist Appt scheduled but its not until 4/21/08, so that is going delay my surgery even further. I am praying that I get a date before June because I saved up 2 weeks of vacation at work just for the surgery and if for some reason they dont give me a date until after June 4th then I'm going to just have to take my 2 weeks of vacation to do absolutly nothing, and then turn around and use a week of my new vacation time just for the surgery.

I'm just praying that things work themselves out and all my ducks line up in a row.

Well I had all my pre op testing scheduled for this week but I got all of them done yesterday. It really pays off to call people repeatedly to find out if they've had any cancellations, and it pays off to have a nice nurse that calls you when they've had cancellations. I got my EKG, Doc medical clearance, Chest X-ray, & Blood work all done by 5pm yesterday. Now I just need to make up the time at work since I kept leaving yesterday. I'm as healthy as a horse (but big as a cow...) The irony.... Anyways until next time....
