PATS
When I went for my PATS at HRRH, I was there for 6 hours. You might find it helpful to bring a good book and some bottled water with you. Hubby and I were in no way prepared for that long a wait and it was hell lol.
Good luck!!! It's really exciting at this stage because you know the light is at the end of the tunnel!!

Just got back from my PATS appointment and it was fast. I was there for 7am and finished before 9am.
The best news is that since starting Optifast I have lost 13.5 lbs in only 2 weeks. Wow what a start and I have 1 week left.
My appointment include meeting with nurse Debbie (her sister had RYN about 6 months ago) she was very nice. She did a full medical history and went over my meds. I then had blood taken, an ECG and then spoke to the anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist told me what meds to stop 1 week before surgery and what ones to not take the day of surgery.
Now all I have left is the final week of Optifast and my surgery next Friday. Soon people will have to be moving over to make room for me on the bench.
