Preop Appointment May 7th/15
May 17, 2015
I went over to the George Dumont Hospital and did all my preop tests, an ECG, blood work, and a chest xray. Then I met Rhinette for the first time. The dietitian. She talked about the 2 week liquid diet and all the importance of shrinking the liver. Then she went over the post surgery diet. It was all very informative and well explained. I then went and met with the bariatric nurse Monique and gave her all my med list and meds. She gave me a printout of when I could take each up to surgery. No arthritic meds from the 16th on. Ouch. Then she weighed me and I was up 16 pounds from 8 months ago at my signing day. She told me she thought they would have to cancell the surgery and went to speak to Rhinette. I almost died right on the spot. She came back and told me they would put me through to the first week of the liquid preop diet. But that I had to do well on that one week check in on the 26th or they would cancel the surgery. I was shaken and explained mother nature was due any day and I would work very hard on the diet. So home I went and onto the diet.
