I saw the dietician today and got my last weigh-in before surgery (down 15 pounds - yeah!).  I found out that I do NOT have to do the liquid diet for a week.  (just the day before surgery)  I am sooooo glad.  I also met with the pre-op nurse to go over pre-op instructions.  Got some blood work done.  Everything went good.  There was an issue  brought up about my head pressure and some concerns about having surgery with it so the nurse wanted to check with my neuro-opthamologist and the anesthesiologist and have them all say it was ok to go ahead with surgery.  This came as a bit of a surprise to me because they've known about my condition the whole time and I was baffled as to why this was only now being dealt with.  I do understand being safe for the surgery so I just waited for her to call me back.  She did and said everything was fine and the anesthesiologist felt comfortable that everything will be fine.  I didn't hear back the official results from my thyroid ultrasound but the nurse had received my clearance from my PCP so it must have been fine.  Yes!  I am officially cleared.  I can't wait for next Friday!
