On my way!

Oct 28, 2010

On 10/22, I met with the NUT and I had only 9 of the 11 lbs the doctor was wanting.  After sweating bullets wondering if I'd get approved, she just smiled and said, "Good Job.  We are ok with that."  On one hand I was very happy but on the other I wanted to smack her.  She made it seem like my surgery would be rescheduled for 1/2 of a pound and I'd lost sleep worrying.  Oh well...at least I got approved.

Yesterday on 10/28, I had my pre-op appointments.  There are 5 of us having surgery on Monday and Tuesday.  They got all of us together and we met with the dietician where she discussed post-op diet.  We returned to the doctor's waiting room and were called individually back to meet with the surgeon and P.A.  After he cleared us, we were sent to admissions, met with anesthesiologist, had chest xray and lab work done.   It is getting very real now and I'm so excited to get it going.  Just 4 more days until surgery.
