Started My Pre-Op Testing

Apr 07, 2011

Today was my first day of pre-op testing list. I had to attend a required class before the surgery. The class was just a repeat of the WLS assessement I had.  The dietician talked to us about how to eat before surgery and after. The therapist talked about calm breathing and relaxation. Then the bariatric nurse talked about the surgery and what to expect before surgery and after. I was soo overwhelmed, I had a anxiety attack during the class. I wasn't a big one, but I had one. I guess reality kinda hit me. I have been soo focused on my husband and how he will feel (since he has never had surgery b4). I haven't had time to really think about myself.

Now I have all this paper work of what to do and what not to do... All next week I will have my pre-op labs, cardio dr. app and pulmonary dr. app. then all that will be done. My husband and I did go buy a new recliner. We will both be a lil comfortable after surgery, that made me feel better...

JUST NERVOUS AND RAMBLING!!!!
Glad I have somewhere to write all of my thoughts.
GOD will not put more on me, then I can HANDLE....
