I have my hospital testing tomorrow and then right after I go to my pre-op appointment. I am nervous about it for all kinds of reasons and I keep thinking that if I am this nervous now what will it be like the day before surgery? I'm worried that I have gained weight and I am going to weigh in a few pounds more than the last time I saw the doc and he is going to say...nope! No surgery for you! I am bloated right now-as it happens my lovely visitor is on her way and I wouldnt be surprised if she shows up the day of the surgery. Since I can't take any herbal stuff etc. like a diuretic! There is not much I can do about it. I always bloat at this time. But then I also have a list of questions to ask the doc that he has never brought up to me that I am kinda wondering about...like no preop diet? port placement? and a few more and I am worried there are questions I should be asking but can't think of. Besides that I have had such a short fuse lately...it's pms and nervous energy and stress all in one! Crap I might as well be prego huh? But....I will be fine...I know it! See you on the losers bench on
9/29/09!!!!! Breathe.......

Breath is right! IN...OUT...IN...OUT! It is a really big deal and normal to be nervous but in the whole scheme of things the end result will be what it is regardless so try to calm down! Good Luck!

Hang in there! We are both scheduled for the 29th, so I know exactly how you are feeling right now! I went in for my hospital testing and pre-op last Friday and, as luck would have it, I started my period that morning. So I went in weighing 5 pounds more than I did the visit before. I just told the Dr. why and he was very understanding. It's all going to work out and we will be on the other side very soon!!

Thanks you guys! It ended up going great actually. I just really watched what I ate for a couple days before the pre op appt and exercised and the day of I only had breakfast and then I ended up weighing in a half pound less than my previous visit with the doctor. Yippy! I asked him all of my questions and his responses were exactly what I was looking for. And no pre op diet! Hooray! Plus I somehow was not nervous really when I woke up that morning. I was just ready to go and get to the next day and continue my countdown to THE day...September 29th! 3 more days.....
