Hi BAF! I want to thank you all for supporting me and my newbie self to this board. This is like a big family reunion, and coming from a tiny family this is GREAT!! I want to say good luck and God Bless to everyone. Wednesday is my big day, so I think this is going to be my last before surgery post. SEE YOU ON THE LOSING SIDE! Michelle

Hi Michelle, Well ,you are down to the wire ! I just had mine on Sept 28th --My advice --say your prayers! Relax if you can! Follow your surgeons directions exactly ( I had to do the two week liquid Pre-op diet) ! After surgery --Get up as soon as they tell you to! Use the spirometer! Take the meds. that are offered! Try to walk as much as you can -- Move! (the more you move , the faster you will heal)! Eat your Protein (You don't want to lose your hair)! Eat even though you won't be hungry Drink your water( stay hydrated) wear a comfortable loose dress to the hospital and comfortable (EASY to slip on and off) shoes ( you can't bent down to tie your shoes--loafers are best--get a cheap pair from payless). Let them spoil you ! You are oing through a lot! post and tell us how you are doing Lots of prayers go with you! Be Blessed, Marian S.C.
