Hi there, you look great. I'm still fighting this cold. I have my pre-assessment tomorrow, so it could be make or break. I've been given a new date of 30th Nov. however, if this cold has not gone then it wont be happening.

How are you Hyacinth? New date yet?

Well you know now. But you got the sheet now, right? And youll be over your cold. Dont beat yourself up. It will happen.

In truth I can't say they that they didn't because my pre-assessment was months ago, 3rd July. Since then I've gone through a lot with these guys, more tests, backwards and forwards with the admissions people - frustration after frustration. So if they told me back then they surely did not remind me of it throughout the many conversations and contacts that we've had. I was not given a information sheet that I could refer to. so hey, who to blame!

No you cant be taking any blood thinning drug. Not even fish oil or aspirin. They didnt tell you to stop those two weeks in advance?

I've been sent home they found wheezing on my chest and I was still taking a particular blood thinning drug, on that basis they could not go ahead with surgery.

yep, trying to get rid of this wheez on my chest.

Getting close now Hyacinth. Getting nervous? Be thinking about you on Monday.

Wont be long now. Here I am 9 months post op and down 80 lbs - which is withoin 20 of my goal weight. Good luck to you Hyacinth. god back and read Aviator's Log Book again from the beginning when your nerves get raw. It will help. Prayers for you.

Hi Aviator, just to update you. I've been rescheduled for the 19th Oct.
