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...!
