Default Another Hurdle Jumped!

Today I had my pre-admission testing and passed with flying colors (even with a slight cold, which they were not concerned about).

I asked why I wasn't put on a liquid diet at most others seem to be, and the doctor said for two reasons: My BMI didn't require it, and the shape of my body (I actually have an hour-glass shape). She palpitated my liver and said it's just fine for surgery. So I just have to do liquids the day before surgery and that's it! YAY! (NOT that I am planning to binge before then.)

I felt bad for the people there who had to travel long distances -- some from Canada who have to stay in a hotel after surgery until their post-op visits. I can't imagine having to spend a week or two in a hotel, without teh comfort of my own cosy bed. My drive is 15 minutes!

Yeah! So happy for you. I didn't have to do the liquid diet either but my sister did. Funny how every place is different. Let us know as soon as you have your date.
