Pre-op

Aug 27, 2010

I made it to my preop this past Monday. I had to take an EKG, Chest Xray & some blood work, which all turned out to be fine. When I first got there, Dr. Bruderer's staff went over the surgery with me and let me know what to expect with the surgery, including my stay while in the hospital. I also asked a few questions. I then met with a  bariatric nutritionist about the diet that I will need to follow after surgery. I am still very impressed with his staff. I've never been treated so kindly by a hospital staff. I like the thought that it seems they truly do care about how their patients do with the surgery. They're not just, "Hey, cut, cut, & now your off." Haha. They assured me that they will take care of me the best possible way that they can during my stay, and before & after surgery...and I trust them for that. =)

Anyway, as the days get closer, and man, are they going by fast, I am getting super anxious, and honestly, I'm also a little scared too. I've never been through any kind of surgery in my life, but I guess that is to be expected with my first time going under.

Well, that is it for now. I'll  update before surgery.
