C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 But I got one more... When they say you have to wait 1 hour before you can have something to drink after you eat. Is it 1 hour from the time you start eating or one hour from the time you put your fork down? Ok 2 more questions..lol.... Carolyn is giving me the option of doing my pre op testing the day arrive at 1:20 p.m. or doing the pre-op testing and my surgery all in one day.. Which would you experienced bandsters say would be better the day before or do it all on the day of surgery? I would have to arrive fasting on the day before and I dont get there until 1:20 in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willi333 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 After you finished eating I know ... it seems like forever and sometimes I really do have a hard time, especially eating out, but if I can't help it - I'd have a tiny sip anyways Oh, and if you have a chance, I'd go by doing it all at the same day !! I had my pre op and surgery on a Monday (arriving on Sunday evening). Get it over with BTW, I like your new name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkieMommy Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I had my pre-ops on Tuesday and surgery Wednesday. I liked having them on 2 different days because I was one of the first to have surgery Wednesday morning so I was allowed to go back to the hotel that night.

C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I would do that too! I am sooo excited to have it done too I would have it the day I get there if I could! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Call the OCC and ask them if there is enough time to get the surgey the day you get in and if so, DO IT!! The sooner it's done, the more time you have to heal afterwards. But WAIT!!!! If you get it done early, you won't be there to see my naked belly!!!!!! And I know how excited you are for that! LOL!!!

C1BandedBabe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Mona do you really think they would do that though? Come to think about it, I think I will want to wait cuz I want to have that last "light" dinner with my band buddy that is having surgery the same day I am.. So I think I better just hold my horses... LOL! And plus I have got to be there to see you get your fill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alana Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Honestly, I'm glad my surgery was done the day after I arrived. Even though I fasted and was starving by the time we got back to the hotel, I was glad I had that night to relax, spend time with my mom, have a yummy last meal, etc. Granted, I could have done all those things (except for the eating) after my surgery, I just felt more rested and mentally prepared for my surgery the next day. I was exhausted after travelling from Florida and I couldn't imagine having surgery after all that travel. It's up to you, but that's my vote!

Kim2BSlim Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 We did ours on separate days too. I must admit after my pre-ops I was ready to go in for my surgery, but we enjoyed shopping that evening and having our last meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sher Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I would have it all in one day. It doesn't really take any longer than having it in 2 separate days. It would free up your afternoon once you arrive at the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I ended up arriving in TJ too late for my pre-op so they did it the next morning and I had it all done in one day. That worked out fine for me because I went shopping instead of to the clinic! Also ate a nice dinner that evening out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I arrived on Thursday and went straight to the clinic (11:00). I did not get out of there until 2:30 so I was starving. The next day I went for surgery and did not have it until about 2:00 (again starving). The sucky part was that two people got there on Friday had their preops done that day and thier surgery done that day before me!!!!! I was a little disappointed in that because I made sure to get there early for my preops, but I guess it does not matter to them. So, long story short I would say do it all in one day it will save you hours of sitting at the clinic. Hope this helps. - Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
