Just got word my surgery is going to be december 19th 2012

So they just scheduled my gastric bypass surgery today I'm really nervous but I'm so excited at the same time I just can't wait to get out of surgery until I feel. I just feel like the surgery can be what I've been waiting for my whole life a chance in the world to be skinny to be happier I'm happy but I could be happier.

I haven't been on any diet and my surgery is at this Wednesday

If I were you I would call them tomorrow morning and make sure you are not supposed to be on any special diet.

Some surgeons are different and only require you to be on 2 days of a liquid diet and then nothing for 12 hours prior to arrival at the hospital.

Some require 2 weeks of a liquid diet,

others (like mine) require 1 month of a low carb/no sugar/low fat diet (ie: Atkins) with the last 1 week liquid diet with 1 meal daily and then 2 days full liquid with 12 hours prior to surgery NPO.

Call tomorrow just to be safe.

Are you ready or will you put surgery on hold?
