Pre Op Surgery appointment at the hospital
May 23, 2013
It's getting real OH family!! I went to my pre op appointment today. I had to do paperwork of course but it went fairly quick. Then I met with the nurse/coordinator and she was so pleasant! I had a great experience and she really took her time to make sure I left with no unanswered questions. She cheered me on as the scale confirmed my 6 pound weight loss!! It wasn't as intense as I had thought. She asked medical history questions and went over what to expect upon arriving and checking in, before and after the surgery down to explaining that I should take advantage of the infamous pain pump! Lol...most of what she said, I knew from OH and Internet research. She said bariatric surgery patients are always most educated. GO US!!! Lastly she drew a small vial of blood and that was it. My surgery time is 4:30 pm so she said I will probably have to stay 2 nights and leave on the morning of the 3rd day. I wish it were earlier in the day but then again, who cares?? Just so I get it done!!
