This thread is too funny! More than anything I've been worried about my coffee and tea. I only have 2-3 cups a day but I am NOT fit for civilized company in the mornings before my caffeine! In fact...

I've been using the nectar drinks. I've tried chocolate truffle,vanilla bean and fuzzy navel. They don't have an aftertaste to me and mix very quickly in water. I found them on the Vitamin Shoppe...

My surgeon told me yesterday that gummys are allowed as long as they fit the nutritional requirements.

I'm told I can shower in the hospital. Some people find the drain painful when removed. I've had one removed and found it more weird than painful.Lol. It will be out and over in seconds so hang in...

I know this seems like a terrible lot of testing but I'm a heath professional. I would have been VERY uncomfortable had they NOT ordered the tests. I don't want to feel like this is a "cut and run"...

I'm here in the states and will be self pay through the hospital where I work. I have put down $500 no return fee and I have to put down about $3000 more in the next few weeks before my surgery. This...
