frist pre-op appointment

May 31, 2011

hi all,

so i went for the doc's first appointment ,pre-op today, he tolled me i have stones in my gallbladder and also have gerd, so he prescribed me a medicine to be taken for gerd till the surgery which is scheduled for 14th June , and told me it will be better that we remove the gallbladder as well , as it is not working because  the stones prevent the gallbladder from working, and suggested that as i have pcos and want to conceive again so it would be better that the pcos drilling can also be performed!!!!!!
is it the right thing to do?
getting gallbladder removed with pcos drilling and vsg all in one surgery?
i hope the surgery does not take a toll on the body and also not to mention the added complications. so on the forum i have been suggested to take opinion from my ob/gyn , so ill do that .
well the rest all went great today , as usual i had a list of questions ready with me when i met the doc. and he very patiently explained me everything. also introduced me to a my patient co-ordination , mousami , i am suppose to contact her directly is case of any problem or questions, she will co-ordinate with all the departments and get back to me. she seemed nice .
i also met the dietitian today , she put me on a liquid diet for the 12 days pre-op , i have to consume no more than 800 cal, an have to be totally on liquids with viscosity ,like soups ,and flowing mushies, dals and watery stuff , but no sugar substitute , and very limited salt.so how is it suppose to go in side ,god knows.
but she was nice too and i felt she knows what she is talking about.
then i met the physiotherapist .he showed me some exercises to be dome to prevent thrombosis in my legs after the surgery and told me i should do 30 min walk every day ,at a stretch ,that is with out any breaks.
also the Doctor gave me a device to practice breathing to increase my lung capacity. so that i can revive faster from the anesthesia effect.
so my mom is coming on 12 the and ill be addmetted in the hospital on 13 evenin 5 o'clock and the surgery is on 14th june at 10 o'clock inlo 12 more days to go. wow i am a bit nervous , have to start everything seriously, the liquid diet and the walks . and aloso have to talk some pre-op photos,

one funny thing happened .i asked the doc that as i am addmiteed in 13th and 14th is my vsg so will i go back home by 17 june , so he said yes i told him its my b'day ,so he says "ohhhhh no cake for you" , i said "i knowww"

so the rest later.
