My surgery is first that day!

Thanks, Vera!  I know my Angel Shelia will definitely keep ya'll posted when it comes time!

YAY SHAUNA!!!! I was also the first case in the morning and its nice because I am like you... I hardly got any sleep!!! I also liked the fact that I was my doctors first surgery of the day so he was awake and fresh and ready to go. It is also nice not to have your surgery time get backed up!! WOOHOOO!! your getting close!!

I had never thought of that...how the dr. will be awake and fresh and ready to go!    <---  This is me in the mornings.  lol  Also, about not getting the surgery time backed up...dead brill!  You make me even happier about my scheduled time!

Hey Shauna!

Great news!  You're lucky to even know this early when you surgery will be!  Anyone here who had surgery (any surgery not just WLS) at Pitt Memorial in Greenville will tell you the way they schedule is CRAZY.  They give you a phone number and tell you to call the DAY BEFORE, yeah ONE DAY before in the AFTERNOON and they will tell you what time your surgery is.  Not alot of time for preplanning huh?  Mine was scheduled at 11AM, I had to be there at 8AM and I didn't have surgery until a little after 1PM!  Talk about nerves, plus I was hungry and thirsty, no food or drink after midnight remember? 

Anyway, I of course, wish you the best and am thrilled that you are able to know this far in advance how things have been laid out. 

I hope you're feeling better

Hey, you long tall glass of milk, you.    hehehe  I'm feeling MUCH better, thank you!  Ends up it was my allergies and Claritin is doing the trick for the most part.  Now that I hear your story, I feel very lucky to know when my surgery is!  I didn't even think to ask so when the nurse told me to be there at 5:30, I was like, "Oh my gosh, do you know when my surgery is scheduled?!"  She said, "Yes, be here at 5:30."  So then I said, "Oh my gosh, do you know when I'll be going back to SURGERY?!"  She said, "Yes, around 7-7:30'ish."  I about, as you would say, "fell out!"  LOL  Hopefully they will be right on schedule.  I feel for you because I indeed understand the nerves and the no food/drink after midnight, so to have had to wait until after 1 p.m.  OMG, I would have had a really tough time with that.  Glad you made it through.  I mean, you now have perfect strangers offering to climb you.    (You are sooo not ever going to live that story down now, you know!)

Glad to hear you're feeling better!  My whole family has had allergy issues this past week also.  My son is really suffering, I guess it's the season.  I'm the same way about sleeping the night before a big event.  I didn't sleep hardly at all every night last week because I was afraid I'd oversleep and be late for classes!  Don't worry, you'll get PLENTY of sleep later on that day!!

Take care

You favorite dairy treat  (Hee,hee)

Thats awesome news!!!  How exciting!!  Good luck.  I was first as well and was so glad that I was for the same reason Darci  said!!

Thanks, Amanda!  Glad so many of you understand my joy at the thought of being first that day!  lol 

Great, Shauna !  I am so excited for you... and glad things went so well today - including Cody and Eli.  Cody is such a responsible young adult. 
And I am glad you didn't have to do the upper GI.  It wasn't horrible, but why do it when it is not necessary???

Got the loser's bench ready for you !

Hugs !
