D-day!

[Popadopalous]

Arrived in Manchester today and had an appointment with the nurse to go everything. Have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 7am to have my bypass. Lost 10lbs during the pre op diet and they said they don't for see any problems.

Extremely nervous but only the part where they actually put me under. It's just the thought of drugs putting me to sleep and being reliant on machines to breathe for me. No problems with needles or pain. Everyone seems so friendly.

Looking forward to the start of my new life.

Thanks Caren! It'll all be over and done with in no time.

Does anyone know if I'm allowed to drink water when I'm fasting? Fasting from midnight and forgot to ask if I can have water.

Thanks guys! Just about to leave the hotel. Never been so nervous in all my life but I'm sure it will go perfectly and to plan. I hope I'm first up so I don't have to wait around for a while, getting even more nervous and stressed out in the process.

Will see you all on the losers bench!

Good luck, remember to do as you're told and behave afterwards and have a quick recovery. See you on the other side. Saving a spot for you on the losers bench.

Thanks for the nice messages! The anaesthetist came in and spoke to me, I asked him what time roughly I'll be going down at and he said he didn't know (I didn't believe him for one second!). Nurse popped in two minutes after him, I asked her and she told me it'll be around noon.

The nurses knew immediately that I had a smoke this morning though understanding because I'm such a nervous wreck. They did say however Mr Alan Li has been known to cancel ops because the patient has had a sneaky smoke and also said "but I'll let you off just this once and not tell him", something else I highly doubt is true but rather just a scare tactic to stop me from going out and having another smoke (I won't though).

Hi everyone, everything went perfect. Was sick a couple of times and it took about 30 mins of constant trying to pee which was seriously frustrating. Not in any pain at all, just discomfort. One wound was ozing blood but I think it has stopped.

woohoo congrats pop, happy healing xxx
