Pre-op mumbo jumbo...

Sep 20, 2009

Last week was my first pre-op appointment which consisted of my upper GI and I have one word for it EWWWWW!  So I get undressed and put on the little night gowns they give you (had to use 2 one going around the front one around the back) and then I go into the x-ray room and take the nasty fizzy ewww stuff.  Then I was advised not to burb....torture because it was the only thing I felt like doing after I took it!   Then came the stuff that I was told before drinking "just tastes like water"?!?!  I take the first big gulp and literally almost spit it back out.....lol Thankfully I made it through and I guess in the end I am thankful I went in there knowing nothing about it--otherwise I probably would have run away!     Most embarrassing thing though was when I went back to my car and looked in the rearview mirror--yea, I had white stuff dried up all over my mouth.....that would be the wonderful drink I had during the x-ray.  Geez and no one said ANYTHING.  lol this is so my luck. hahahahahahahaha   

Next week is the sleep study and I am hoping all goes well just a little nervous about someone "watching" me sleep.....WIERD! The ball is officailly rolling and it really makes me feel on top of the world.  For once in my life I am taking control and following through with my dream!
