Pre Op Appointment

Today I saw my surgeon for me pre-op appointment.  I liked Dr. Richardson and feel he will do a great job. He quickly answered all of my questions and put Phillip and me at ease.  I received my discharge instructions and they all seem pretty straightforward.  I saw the dietitian next.  She went over what I need to do prior to surgery and from post-op up until my follow up appointment.  I have at admit I was kinda bummed that no one commented that I had lost 39 pounds from my initial appointment.  They said I needed to loose 17 pounds prior to surgery and I exceeded that.  Oh well, that is 39 pounds kicked to the curb.  Next up is my IVC filter placement and then the main event.  I am so ready for this!
