Count down Begins

Nov 19, 2010

Had my final pr-op visit yesterday. Chest x-ray and blood  paid all fees and did the pre-addmitting in to the hopital. 

I met with the surgeon and  did a weigh in and  LOST a total of 25 lbs since i started the surgery process - I think its anxiety.  
I asked my Surgegeons nurse about goals and such and she said they dont DO THAT ?  Odd .. i think.  She said that according to my height i should weight 137lbs really  Umm i think I would look like a skeleton.  But i was annoyed that there is not a goal or target  ?  

The other thing i find annoying is that people are down playingthe surgery like its no big dealand just standard easy s urgery - UMM HELLO .... I signed all those papers yesterday where they describ all the things that can go wrong and all the things that can happen and umm no this is not a standard routine surgery . Its abig deal and Moreover, Its a big deal to me because this is my firt time ever EVER being in a hospital as the patient ?

also, everyone keeps asking what my Last meal will be .... Really, i have no idea and oddly i am a vegetarian and  the things i am thinking about eating are all MEAT things like a pastrami sandwich and westerb bacaon cheeseburger or a hot dog  weird.. like isaid I am a vegetarian and have been for 17 years ... so weird... ANYONE?
