Did they tell you that you needed to do some things in the meantime? You probably have to do some pre-op tests, like blood work and an EKG. Some docs ask you to do a special pre op diet, others don't. You can also spend the time learning about your surgery and practicing things like measuring your portions and tracking your protein grams.

We have the same date congrats!

Didn't your office set up an appointment for you with a class that tells you what you have to do?
I have a 4 hour class I scheduled as well as the pre op appt with the doctor and the hospital will call for blood work and surgery instructions they said.

If you are unsure call them. My doctor requires a 2 week pre op diet that I will start the day after my class.

Congrats! Ahhh, I remember that feeling. I was at work and when I found out I was approved and had a date, I called my husband and whispered it into the phone because I had no privacy. I was soooo excited.

Definitely contact the coordinator or someone who is helpful at your surgeon's office and see what is required during this time (pre-op diet, etc.). Start making changes to your lifestyle now if you haven't already.

Very excited for you!

CONGRATULATIONS! I AM HAPPY FOR YOU,NOW THIS IS THE TIME TO GET MENTALLY PREPARED. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SUCESS COMES WHEN YOU PREPARE YOURSELF TO DEAL WITH THE ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS, EATING THE RIGHT FOODS AND EVEN DEALING WITH THE PAIN.
