Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Priti,  Am keeping your son in my prayers, I know it is very scary time for you, but it will work out fine for your son, I don't remember where he is having the surgery? We are all here and can hardly wait to hear how the surgery goes!!! The surgery changed my life, made everything almost normal now after suffering for many, many years. I am so glad that he will get better. Follow all the doctors orders, make sure to do it the right way.  Julee So.

I was told only about blood test, forgot to ask if it needs to be a fasting one or not. I will call them back tomorrow. As the surgery day is coming closer for my son, starting to get a little nervous. Surgery is scheduled for July 11th. May God bless him. He needs to be on liquid diet 2 days before and on clear liquid 1 day before the surgery. Clear liquids will be chicken broth, jello, Gatorade. What can he take for the liquid day? Thanks everyone for being there for us through this rough times. Priti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 One thing I remembered last night to bring to the hospital, if you have one of the neck rolls that you bring on the plane to sleep. It helped me so much when i is sitting up in the chair and I fell asleep. It will help him stay straight up. I still use mine with my wedge pillow after my surgery. I can't live without it. His life will change overnight..and it is soooo good. Blessings SO CAL ________________________________ From: Preeti Mahajan <priti19.mahajan@...> achalasia Sent: Saturday, July 9, 2011 7:10 PM Subject: Re: Re: Need your prayers  Yes , I do remember you well and you telling me this and giving me great suggestions. Kind of scared but I am sure things will work out for the better.
