Im new to the site. Surgery scheduled for 11/6/13. Im both nervous and excited and hoping to find support and people to talk to going through the same thing

CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

Wow were they running a special on the 4th and 19th lol...

Good luck! I start Monday.

I'm having my surgery on Monday 7:30 am.

I see the the nut for our final visit on Monday I then start my pre-op diet on the same day now I'm nervous because my surgery is coming fast 11/19/13

Saw the surgeon and pre-op nurse today. 11/19 is my surgery date. Was told that I have a large hiatal hernia. He is going to repair that at the same time as my bypass. Said it would add about an hour to the surgery. Think I am lucky because some Drs want that done as separate operation. I will be doing my own pre-op diet starting a week before surgery. I have lost weight and he is happy with my results. In the meantime, using My Fitness Pal, substituting one meal with protein shake and being very careful of diet. If I follow the guidelines now, it will make it easier later.

Yahoo Judy I'm 11/19 also I went to pre op class today the last thing I had to do I do pre admit on Monday with hospital an sugon!!!! Then just wait patiently yea right I'm aorta excited!!!

I'll be having a revision from band to RNY on 11/19. Super excited/scared/happy/nervous... all at the Samar time lol! I'll do a 10 day pre op liquid diet and have bought unjury, which is delicious. Anyone else has a favorite protein drink they want to share? God bless all of us November RNYers

From what I heard chapstick

Thanks for the well wishes and congrats everyone. I woke up today and it was the first time I realized I have a date and am just waiting for surgery day! What an odd feeling!

I have heard Chapstick too for the hospital bag. Loose clothes, socks, maybe a laptop if you can get to the internet?

I have a question for all of you actually...I am starting to get stuff on my shopping list regarding vitamins, protein powders, etc. I'm having a difficult time finding a calcium supplement that meets the surgeons requirements. It needs to preferably be a citrate not carbonate. Liquid or chewable, without any sugary stuff in it. What have you guys found out there? I am on a Flintstones Iron Chewable and will start Natures Valley B-12. Each time I look at these vitamins and powders, I get really overwhelmed. Anybody wanna share??

My surgery is Monday November 4th at 5am I also love the unjury shakes but in addition to those there is a protein shake called premier protein that I buy at Sams Club. .it has 30 grams of protein 1 gram of sugar and taste even better than unjury it has no after taste!! Congratulations on your surgery and I know you are super excited like me to get rid of this band
