Time is drawing near. I went for my final pre-op visit with Dr. Bour (he is too cute), had my labs, chest x-ray, EKG and nutrition visits today. I started at 10 am and finished up around 2:30. A very exhausting day going from office to office but it was well worth it. I start my low carb diet tomorrow. It doesn't seem to be too bad but we'll see. I found out from Dr. Bour that I will be able to take a shower the day after surgery as long as I promise not to drink the water! :-) His patients can nothing by mouth for 2 days. I've talked with post-op patients and they say that wasn't a problem. Hope I'm as lucky. My Dr. only does 2 surgeries a day, Monday - Wednesday and I got a chance to meet the other patient today. She's really nice and I'm sure we will be walking the halls together. By the way, I had to take my before photo today. The program coordinator is going to e-mail my photo and then I can post it.

Dear Jodie: Just wanted to congratulate you on getting insurance approval! I know for me, it was a major hurdle. Now I can handle waiting for the surgery date, which I should have next week. :o) Good Luck and God Bless!
