Just had mine today. Pretty much what to stop taking (meds, herbal supplements) & when. What to bring, not bring... Personal prep day of surgery, what meds to expect to take, or get before (my surgeon does aggressive prevention on blood clots).. The potential side effects/risks how to prevent and deal with them (pneumonia, clots, gas, nausea).. Post op diet in hospital (ours is pureed food on day 2). Reviewed the 30/30 rule, helpful things to have, use at home. Vitamins, post op nut class, post op appt w/surgeon, etc, etc. our nurse/coordinator had an rny in 1991, so she had 1st hand experience. And we toured the floor, saw the rooms, etc.

Man oh man did I fuck up! I've been so consumed with having my last meal(s) that I somehow missed the fact that my Dr requires no weight gain from the first appointment(2months ago) to the physical(today)!!!! I'm freaking the hell out now. Nurse just weighed me and I'm up 8 lbs...waiting to hear what the Dr will say now I'm praying he just postpones instead of kicking me out of the program altogether

I had a 6 month diet....I gained 6 lbs but lost most of. He wanted me to lose 10lbs but I did not.

Dr.'s office faxed in all my paperwork on Wednesday 28th, i was approved on Friday but i didn't get the news till i called the office today. Sept 23rd is the day.

Oh wow. That's a lot to wake up to. How are you feeling?

thats crazy, they didn't see any of that during the xray or endoscopy?

No nothing evident. In preop nurse said "you are so healthy!"

Doc said to do RNY today would take another 4 hours and my blood pressutr was iffy.

High potentiL for ileus too after all that. Oh well at least i am not hungry!
