My husband and I are having ours done together this summer.I am waiting 2 Weeks after his surgery to do mine. Hoping that will give him enough time to heal enough to help me post op. Any other couples that have done it together? Suggestions?

Congratulations. My date is 8/15 and we just started my husbands paperwork. So im praying that he gets approved, im sure that will make life alot easier if we both got it!!!

My husband and I are at the end of our pre-op check list.. We Have our EEG's this Saturday and we will be ready to schedule surgery dates a week later. But, I guess knowing that it will be a while before I can have my favorite foods, I have been eating more than I ever have. I know I wont have a problem changing my diet once the Doctor schedules my surgery, but I just want to know is this normal? I feel almost like I havent had to really watch my diet as much because help is on the way... Then I feel so guilty... Anyone else have this issue before surgery?

Hi momo6,

I am in ur same situation. I am having my rny on July 11 and my hubby is actually in surgery now! I'm just hanging out waiting and anticipating to see him once it's done. Yes I start my preop on 27th so I will def be a Lil crazy the next few days. I have ate all that I have wanted and just cut back and no drinks what so ever for like 2 months. So I feel great. I'm gonna send u my email. We must chat!!

Good luck tomorrow!! Keep me up to date on your progress so I know what more to expect..lol I am just waiting on approval from ins. Now so we can schedule the surgery.. I am too anxious!!

Before I had my surgery I made sure to eat all my favorite meals. I guess I was afraid I would never be able to eat them again. Now I can eat them but in moderation and not as often. Some stuff I dont even want anymore. Good luck to you and your husband:-)

Good Luck to all the couples doing it together.

I wish my husband would do this with me. I'm still trying to convince him to get on board for me to do it. He thinks it's the easy way out and I just need to try harder. Ugh. I'm doing this though.

So change of plans, my husband started the police academy and has lost alot of wieght and looks great (I always thought so anyway). As for me, my surgery is finally scheduled, September 10th.. Excited and nervous at the same time. More nervous about missing work, I think. Anyway... That is my bit for the day.. Any tips for my week long, pre op liquid diet?

Hi I am scheduled for September 25 and am doing an extra week of optifast to get myself ready pre op. I am on day two and

I feel ok. Staying at my desk for lunch cuz I don't want to smell the cafeteria.
