OMG....my surgery is tomorrow. I can't believe it's here already. My emotions are all over the place. I have also reached my goal of 30pds before surgery. I feel good and ready now for this surgery.

Good luck to those that have surgery today. I am sure to meet you on the losing side here shortly :)

Good luck tomorrow! Prayers for you. Keep us updated! :-)

I have strep throat. Surgery on the 15th. I hope this doesn't delay anything! I am picking up the antibiotics right now. I will call the surgeons office this afternoon.

Oh no! I hope you start feeling better . Unfortunately I don't think they will do the surgery because you've had an infection. Keep us updated after you speak with the surgeon I hope all goes well. Good luck .

I'm right here with you! I'm scheduled for 7:30 and need to be there at 6:00 am. Clear liquids today and I have to start the lovely bowel cleanse at 4 this afternoon. I'm nervous, excited, and kind of hoping this is the longest day ever. Lol!

Congrats on the 30 pounds!

I'm happy I don't have the bowel cleanse.....I think the liquid diet did that for me. I'm also scheduled for 7:30 but have to be there at 5am.....jealous you can sleep an extra hour, well that's if you can sleep. I'm exited for you. Keep us posted and I'll post something hopefully tomorrow night.

I spoke to my surgeon and he said I am ok with keeping my surgery date. I will be finished with the antibiotics by the date.

Good luck tomorrow!! Its crazy, you go in there and they hook your IV up and do some blood work and then they wheel you into the OR. They get you on the table, you pass out and then you're in recovery in what feels like 30 seconds. In and out of being awake.

I notice that everyone is having the surgery with the six incisions.....has anyone had the surgery where you get opened under your breast bone

The Laproscopic RNY is the way most surgeons like to do it because it it less recovery time and less complications. I'm only 4 days post op and haven't had any pain meds since 2 days post op. It really does help not being cut from breast to belly button.

Thanks. People have been telling me this happens. I've never had surgery before so I'm seriously new at this. So far I'm not so nervous as in excited to start a new me. I am so ready....I bought my food for the liquid food portion when I get home on Thursday. I will make sure to let everyone know how things are going. I've decided to bring my laptop so that I can have something to do on my down time even if it's watching a movie and taking a nap.

The cut I am told is just under 5 inches and eliminates the air they have to pump you with. Also, the in hospital time is only two days but still the usually two weeks at home. Congrats in your surgery.........we're you scared?

Got my date.... May 28 starts my new life. I cannot wait!
