Pre-op Appt

Feb 05, 2009

Well Tuesday I had my pre-op appt.  I met with nurse Tamara and then with her and PA Brian who checked my belly and went over the final questions.  They weighed me in and I was 281lbs, down 46lbs since I first started with them!

I verified with PA Brian that I was going to be able to take my Neurontin capsules after surgery (I showed him one) and he said no problem.  That was a relief.  Then they sent me to the hospital to do the pre-admit, pre-op questions and training, chest xray, blood tests and EKG.  All in all I was at the Dr/hospital from 9am to 3:30pm.  It was a long day for sure!

Now it's a week to surgery and I have a busy few days ahead of me.  I go on all clear liquids on Tuesday the 10th until surgery on Thursday.  My mom is coming in to town to take me to surgery at 6:30am on Thursday in San Bernardino.  We're getting a motel Wed night and she's going to stay there Thurs night and take me home with her on Friday.  I'm going to stay with her for a couple of days after surgery and then they (my sister or mom) will be bringing me home.  Then I have my post-op appt on the 19th which my friend is taking me to.

So I guess that's all for now, more later...!
