Great question Amy...I don't think this has ever been asked! Since

I had my surgery before it was an all day event I am waiting with

you to hear the responses.

My preop consult was only 2 years ago and although I was told to

expect an " all day " appointment it lasted exactly 4 hours from the

time I walked in the office to the time I left the parking lot. That

included both the lesson with Dee as well as my consult with the Dr.

I didn't even think about taking snacks or packing a lunch. I ate a

normal breakfast before we left home, took a bottle of water to sip

on during the appointment, and we made it all the way back to Hanford

after my appointment before I felt the least bit hungry. To to tell

you the truth, eating was the FARTHEST thing from my mind at that

time!

If you do happen to be there all day and you feel faint from hunger -

there is a cafeteria next door at the hospital, there are lots of

mini-marts and fast food resteraunts nearby, and there is always

good 'ol Jenneys and Perko's as well.

If you don't can't leave the office (I went straight from the

classroom session with Dee to the consult with the Dr), and you think

you may feel the need to eat, simply pack a small light lunch of

sandwiches, fruit, or something else non-messy that you can nibble on

during the wait.

Good Luck at your consult!

Let us know how it goes!

I'd suggest at least a snack. When I went it was at 1 or 2 pm, but I went

from the office to thehospital for a pre op. If I hadn't had that I guess it

would be a lot less time but the way ours went, we were there until about(what

Marta?) 6 or 7pm? I know it was dark when we left...

Being the closet eater that I am, I didn't eat a thing at my consult.

Prior to the consult I ate breakfast at the hotel and then had

another breakfast at Mcs on the way to the office. As soon as

the consult was over I headed to In and Out Burger. Nope, no doubt,

that I was MO because I ate too much!

Interesting thing though - stress eating is what led to morbid

obesity for me - now stress causes me to lose weight! Go figure!

Kinda like the candy thing - just doesn't make sense.

Hi Amy! If you're on the group tonight you noticed I finally

stopped playing Sims 2. I figured a full 8 hours of gameplay was

enough for one day. (My eyes are sooo tired!)

There are several fast food places and a couple of sit down

restaurants in Delano. It's a small town and you really can't get

lost if you just drive around to see what looks good. Right off

hand I remember a chinese place, Perko's, Taco Bell, 's, and

KFC.

Hugs!

Tracey,

I bought the Sims 2 but haven't been able to play it yet. My computer is 2

years old and my graphic card is already obsolete. WAAAAAh!! I can't wait to

play though. How is it? Sounds like you like it, lol.

Mel,

Was your appointment a consult, teaching AND your preop appointment

all rolled into one day? I have heard that the out of towners who

come in and do it all at once because they are scheduled for surgery

within a few days usually have ALL DAY (and sometimes into the

evening) appointments! In that case I would be sure to find food or

pack snacks (or have pizza delivered to the office!).

For those of us who simply had a teaching session and the Dr's

consult only the day is usually a lot shorter since we didn't have to

have all that preop testing and registration done...it was done later

at our preop exams just before surgery!

Since Dr Z is no longer doing surgery I wonder if there are more

patients scheduled for consults with Dr K and teachings? I am curious

how much busier the office is and if the waits for consult

appointments and also surgery dates are longer now with only one

surgeon performing the ds....

By the way....GOOD LUCK TOMORROW MEL!!!!!

It IS the day for you, is it not?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Stay in touch and keep us updated on YOU!

Hi !

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sims 2! Can't get enough of it! I've played every

night this week except tonight. I'm planning on playing most of

this weekend, too. The graphics are amazing! I'm so sorry your

graphics card won't support it. It's true, you need a pretty up to

date card. Can you upgrade on the computer you have? My computer

is at least two years old also and my graphics card is one of the

ones they specified on the package.

You'll love it when you start playing! Hope you can do that soon!

Tracey,

I am taking my modem in to a computer guy tonight. He has a home based business

and is my sister's neighbor. We aren't sure if my modem has a port to add a new

graphic card or not. I could open it up but I don't know what I am looking for

so what it the point, lol? He said he could get me a graphic card in one day so

maybe I will be playing by Monday?? I wish I wish.

I am glad to hear that the game is good. I can't wait to play. I want to build

really cool houses. I wonder if anyone online has made objects for the game

yet? Maybe I will check out welldressedsim and see if they have. Take care.
