Pre assessment

I had my pre-assessment yesterday, it went very well I think! I had blood tests, ECG, height, weight, chat with a pharmacist and the anaesthetist.

The anaesthetist thought as I have no health problems ( other than obesity) he didn't need to do an echocardiogram, so I took that as a sign that I am fit enough to face surgery.
I am getting apprehensive about the op next week and going to pre-assessment answered questions but also revealed more of what I must face after the op.

The pharmacist went through the list of medication I will come home with: 3 types of pain relief, 2 laxatives, 2 indigestion remedies and a host of protein drinks!!
This op is in NO way an easy option and it will be at least 2 months until I'm eating anything like 'normal' textured foods. So at this point I am holding on to the bigger picture, looking past the immediate future of the operation, post op discomfort, potential problems and eating baby food! I'm holding on to loosing this weight, feeling better, having more energy, less joint aching and perhaps, just perhaps the chance to improve my PCOS and become a mother...now that's a future to look forward to!!
