Almost Time

Dec 19, 2008

 Hello to everyone!!   I am getting ready to start my 10 day pre-op diet in 2 days!!  That means I am very close to surgery!!  I cannot believe it!!  I am full of so many different emotions, and I am sure that is quite normal.  I know this surgery is literally going to save my life, and I am looking forward to finally being able to manage my weight with the tool I am going to receive on New Years' Eve.
I had my nutrition class Wednesday and had my pre-op with Dr. Gornichec.  All went well.  He, once again, went over all my testing results, etc....and I will be having blood work one more time before surgery.  He really talked about how helpful the filter is and now I am leaning towards getting one.  I just don't know when I would do it, it would mean missing another day of work, which I cannot do at this time of year.  I have the day off before my surgery, but I don't know if that is too near my surgery to get the filter.  I have my 10 days of Lovenox already, and that may just have to be good enough.
Will update once I start my liquid diet!!
