ALMOST TIME...

Well, my surgery is scheduled! I've had my pre-op meeting with Dr. Meyers, who showed me what size my new stomach pouch would be...yikes! I've signed what seems like a gazillion forms at the hospital when I went to pre-register. I've had an EKG, blood work and x-ray...and that was just today!!! Prior to that I had a stress test, an endoscopy and a sleep study!! I am sooo ready for the surgery. Dr. Meyers and Ruth, his nurse, are so thorough. They have been amazing! (and the assistant in their office who manages the schedules/appointments and so much more (Giovanni) is a awesome (and a hoot, as we say in Texas!) I don't think Í have ever had any kind of health care professionals spend as much time with me explaining a procedure. Although they told me I could expect to be in surgery from 2-4 hours, I would like to know from some of you who have had the surgery how long you were in surgery and recovery.
