Good Luck on the 25th. This is an awesome place for support, get questions answered from people who are acually having it done and advise.

I am so glad I found this. My date is 3/25. I am getting very excited!!

Awesome birthday present!!... Good luck

1 more day. surgery is on Monday 3/18 at 9:30 am. also my 36th birthday. liquid diet has been pretty hard though. worth it.

Who is doing your surgery? Mine is in Syracuse also. 3/21 with Dr Baranov.

Same office. Having mine done by Dr. Graber. My psych eval is a week from tomorrow and thats the end all I have to do is wait 3 weeks.

I'm in Syracuse, ny. Surgery scheduled for 3/18/13

38 days now. Just went through the nutrition class today. Only thing left is pre op testing an psych eval. Had primary Dr appt today. He's ready to sign off feb 27th. Getting nervous. More so about the food change than the surgery. Most of my life till now has revolved around food. It's going to be more of a lifestyle change than anything.

Yes I'm set up for March 18th. MY BIRTHDAY.

Less than 60 days to the beginning of a new me. Getting excited, I find myself thinking about it all day and all night. Anyone else pre-op for March? How did you feel the last month or two pre-op?

So this is my first post to RNY. I have been reading alot of the post and the replys by the users. I have to say, you people are amazing. The way you all share opinions, experiences and support one another is almost unheard of in every day life anymore. I go in for my surgery in 75 days. I am actually getting the surgery done on my birthday (I requested by birthday and my doctor was able to accomodate me). I figured I started life on this day 36 years ago and might as well start new one on this date again. I am a type 2 diabetic and my doctor has told me I may not have to take anymore of my diabetic pills even as soon as the day I am released from the hospital. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it possible that I can stop the tidal wave of pills I need to take? My primary doctor has been talking to me about the bypass for over 3 years now. He has told me time and time again this is the cure to type to diabetes. I finally took his advise and set an appointment to go to the seminar on the surgery. I walked out so impressed and hopefull that I went home and started my research online. I am now set up to have the surgery March 18th and cannot wait. The greatest thing about this is my wife has been with me every step of the way and she has her surgery scheduled for 1 month later.
