Friday May 1 is the dAY

Fri May 1 is my surgery date. It's in Mobile , Al , so my dayghter & I are driving over  o n Thurs, because the night before bowel prepmight linger to the next day & there are not a lot of places to stop along the way, and I don't want to have to make any sudden, unexpected stops with no place with a bathroom. I have to register at the hosp at 5:30 Fri. morningand surgery should be around 7:30am  The first night I will be in ICU just in case I have any breathing or heart isssues or in general, any complications I will be in the right place, acording to my doc. I have to bring my c-pap machine with me, I was hoping to leave that at home and I hope after this surgery that I will be able to get rid of that machine and oxygen attatched to it.     All other May surgery dates good luck on your surgeries and a speedy recovery. May we meet next year at this time AND HAVE MANY SUCCESS STORIES TO SHARE                         Linda

Hi & congrats on your upcoming surgery. I am a few days after you, but Im doing my pre~op on Friday. What kind of bowel prep are you having to do?

I have to take a bottle of magnesium citrate, but I went to rite-aid and they had a cherryflavor, I'm sure doesn't change the taste much. I was thinking of  mixing a packet of the Twisted Cherry Nectar maybe make it more palatable. What do you think and what prep r u doing I also had a 10 day liquid diet to do . I so want something to eat so bad.   Write back and will be praying for you for your surgery                           linda

As far as I know I only have to do the 2 week liquid diet. I go to the hospital on Friday for my pre~op intake, so I guess if they want me to do a bowel prep they will tell me then. If they don't then I will not have to do one. I did have to do one for my hysterectomy in 97. That mag citrate is some nasty stuff.

Having to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks is enough I was told to stay close to the bathroom       Linda

OH  LINDA  GOOD LUCK  TO  YOU!!  Time to  get ur DONE!!!
