    Default Pre-op appt on Thursday

    What do I have to look forward to with pre-op appointment? I know they lay out the surgery and pre-surg preparations. Guess I'm just a little nervous as it gets closer. I'm at peace with this being the best option for my needs. I guess I just need reassurance and insight on what is coming :-) I am still excited for this journey!

    At my pre-op appointment, they just weighed me, gave me paperwork to sign, my orders and told me that I would get a call the day before to let me know what time to arrive the day of surgery. Most people get their pre-op diet instructions. I was not put on a pre-op diet. That was it for me.

    I have mine tomorrow. I was told that I will meet with the nutritionist again to go over pre-op diet and follow up with surgeon, and will need to pay my portion of the surgery tomorrow, and will receive prescriptions for after surgery and can purchase vitamins etc or whatever else I may need or want at the nutrition store in the office.

    I was fortunate to have a Dr that had EVERYTHING I needed to know/do in a wire bound notebook (I still have/use it). I say fortunate because I could/can go to whatever section I needed/need to for any question I may have. It’s like a manual. I saw it as a study tool.

    I had to keep reminding myself to BREATHE and just do the next right thing. They (Dr, Nut, Staff) didn’t bring me this far to drop me on my head to fend for myself. LOL

    I’ll be right there with you in spirit...You Are Not Alone! ;-)

    My pre-op was having labs drawn, getting an EKG and getting a chest x-ray. Didn't see the NUT or any doctor, just the techs doing the procedures I mentioned.
