Nutrition Class/PATTS...and here comes the fear...
I had my nutrition class today at St. Joes, and I have to say I am glad the AC was working!! It was nice to meet another lady who was going to have her surgery on August 2nd. Anyone on here having their surgery August 2nd at St.Joes in Hamilton?
My PATTS is tomorrow, and I am kinda of nervous...I don't want to be told no you can't when it's close...I mean can they tell you no?...and even thinking about the surgery now I am getting a little anxious...I guess the "Yay! I got my date" feeling has worn off.
I can do this! I need to do this! Breathe!!

I have not heard of anyone being told no at a PATTS meeting. Its so the docs, especially the gas passer can review your file, ask you any questions they have and make any plans they may need to keep you safe during the surgery. Take a book or make sure your smart phone is charged, it can be a long process (not always but mine was four hours of mostly waiting). If you have any test results like stress tests or sleep test results, take copies of these things with you, they may want to see them and its faster for you to present them then for them to go looking for them, especially if its not in your bariatric file. Enjoy the ride! 
Alright, Book and Iphone gotcha, Candy Crush...will be my friend tomorrow! Thanks Ian! :)
