26 days and counting! ;)

Jul 06, 2010

As you may have guessed by that title and by my last blog, today I was scheduled for laparoscopic RNY! My date is August 2nd, 2010-time of surgery is 11:00 a.m. I think it is beginning to sink in now. I am getting butterflies!

I called Weight Loss Management to schedule my pre-op bariatric class-that will be on July 22nd at 3:30-and I called my PCP to schedule my pre-op testing, and I guess from the sounds of things they have never done a nicotine screening before, so the receptionist told me that I would more than likely have to have that done elsewhere . I guess it could be worse...

My mom and 3 year-old son went along to the consult. My mom was very impressed with Dr. White (as was I-he has a very charming personality), and I am sure that my son thought he was a pretty cool guy, too. My son was wearing an Iowa State jersey, and Dr. White was trying to sway him to become a Nebraska fan by teaching him to say, "Go Big Red!" Uggghhhh...I cringe upon typing that!  I told the gal doing the scheduling that I was going to have to wear some Nebraska apparel on the day of surgery as a good luck charm...haha. On second thought, I don't think I need luck that badly! Hehehe...

Well, hopefully my nicotine screening date gets figured out yet this week. Take care all...will continue to update...thank you for being a friend!
