Surgery Date!!

Mar 31, 2012

I got my date, it's May 14 at 11 am @ TWH by Dr. Urbach.

I'm an early bird, I always have been, my appointment was for 9:30 but we got there at 8:05.  At about 8:20 they called three of us in, they weighed us and took us to our single private rooms where we waited.  I was to be the third one seen.  It seemed like a long wait in the room, thank heavens my hubby is so patient.  A nurse came in and asked some questions and took my bloodpressure.  And was going to explain how to order the OF, but I told them I had already bought 2 weeks from someone who had it left over.  And that was fine, I didn't need to order more.  The nurse also gave me a hospital binder that explains your stay in the hospital, it wasn't for just RNY but for any surgery.  And I have to take that to the pre op and the day of surgery.

It was between 10 and 10:30 when the surgeon came in.  He asked me what I knew of the surgery and what complications I am aware of.  Then using pictures he explained it all and let me ask any question I had.  Very nice man.  I signed the papers. 

Then I booked my appointment with the nurse and the pre op appointment too.  I did find out that they leave the 8am appointments for those who have diabeties.

The surgeon also said that probably in 5 years they will be doing this surgery on diabeties patients that aren't overweight because of how it "cures" it.  They said they wouldn't do the restrictive part the same though because they don't need to lose weight.

My pre op appointment is Apr 27 at 11am.  My surgery May 14 11 am.  I start OF April 30.   I can't tell you how excited I am.
