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

I have my pre-op 11/6 and surgery 11/11. I'm getting the RNY. In the beginning I kept looking at the sleeve. I have a friend who recently got it done and is doing great. But when I went to one of the support group meetings I asked the question on the fact that I wasn't quite sure which one I wanted to get done. The instructor asked "what did the Dr. Recommend?" The RNY, I said. She said "I would suggest going with what the Dr recommended. He's the expert and you want it done right, however the choice is still mine. So that's when I made up my mind to go with the RNY. He's been teaching other dr.s around the world the Robotic procedure and has personally performed over 1,000 already..

I haven't purchased anything yet. What are you getting? Someone said their taste buds totally changed and they couldn't eat what they bought. My Dr gives us 1 months supply of everything we need. Vitamins, shakes, etc.

All my surgeon and his staff are very nice and professional. I feel like this whole experience will be great!

I'm at my H&P appointment. Started my pre op today. I'm so excited! 14 days till I'm on the losers bench.

Save me one too. I'll be there on the 13th

Omg thirteen more days until surgery. Started my pre-op diet a week before I was supposed to. Can someone say excited!!!

Omgosh how funny is that!! I start mine on Thursday and then my surgery is on the 22nd!!! 17 days girls!! 17 days til I stand up on the bench and shout "I'm herrrrree!!!" I'm so happy we are all connecting. Makes it SO much easier for me to get through all of this with you!! And I know I said it before but the 22nd is also my 30th bday! It will be my birthdaysurgiversary each year then!!

Just off to bed (it's just after 10.30pm here in the uk) and have to be up early for surgery in the morning... Scared but excited too!

Sending prayers to you UK-Molly and wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep us posted. (hugs)
