Hi Dave! Another step closer!! Just a few more days to go! The best wishes on yoru surgery and on a speedy recovery. Everyone is having pre op days...wonder why I don't have one? Anyone else not have to go to hospital for pre-op testing? Debbie

Either you will have it in a couple days or they do thing a little different here in the states. I never heard of a Dr Not ordering pre op tests. Hope your surgery goes well you will be in my prayers. Dave

Hi Dave Glad to hear it went well. Your day will be here very soon. just wanted to send you warm wishes and let you know I will keep you in my prayers. Keep us posted. Dawn

Good Luck, Dave, and God's blessings to you on your new Birthday! Take Care, Nicole

Good luck to all....and to answer Deb's question, I dont have a pre-op day either. I've done a million tests all of which were completed before Christmas (11 Jan is surgery date). I think they were the same thing, I just had a list of what needed to be done more than 3 weeks out and then what had to be done within 30 days. Within 30 days - the PFT and ABG, chest xray, tons of blood and urine samples (I had my first UTI, had no clue. and they swabbed the nose to test for a strep they want to keep out of the hospitals, I came back positive and had to put ointment into my nose for 7 days). Also cardiac clearance and pulmonary clearance. Met both docs and did the treadmill thingy. While I talk to the physicans asst almost daily its been awhile since I saw the surgeons so I made an appt to go in on Friday, more for my own sanity than anything else. i want to again see the people who are rearranging my organs and need their strength in person, quite honestly. And I dont have a pre-op diet other than liquids 2 days out and the bowel prep. Listening to all the requirements you're all going thru has put me on a better diet, just to help things along. I stopped my pig out a week ago and am being very healthy in my choices. Having the delusions that I will die along the way but know I'll be fine. this self pay angle is giving me more worries than I would otherwise but I'm prepared and have been given strong approvals all around. I'm sleeping a lot and having dreams of myself as a thin person. That tells me everything will be just wonderful going forward. Be well, ~Tiffany PS - hopefully my pic will soon be posted so you know who you're talking with!
