Congrads and good luck! I'm on the preop diet and it's not bad. Mine is for 3 weeks. U will do fine!!!

My surgery is this Wednesday, I been celebrating our 28 wedding anniversary this weekend, its on Friday. I only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do the lovenox injections twice a day. The doc forgot to tell me to stop taking my hormone pills. If I would have stop taking them a month ago I would have killed somebody.i am nervous so please say a prayer for me. I know that I have a good doc Alan Posner,Buffalo,NY having it done at Buffalo General.

Hello Guys, I too am a light weight for RNY. But as mentioned before, I also have type 2 diabetes and High B/P. I have the lap band now and have been approved to have it taken out. I'm 5'2 and weigh 213, but I have to do the pre-op diet and lose before having it done. Because I have very thin legs and arms, someone asked me "How do you think you're going to look if you do that". I often worry about that too, but I'm listening to others here and to myself and want to do it for health reasons.

Good evening all!

Ramona here...about to have RNY surgery coming up 7/17/14 God willing!

Definitely am thankful, as I was supposed to have surgery 3/19...but an ulcer detected before in and EGD decided otherwise. Everything happens for a reason and that's ok.

Current weight is 336, starting my 2 week liquid preop diet on 7/3!

Nice to meet the group!

Welcome Mona...

U can do it. The first two days might be hard but it should be down hill from there.

Seems like we will be taking this journey on the same day (7/11/14). I will start the Pre-Op tomorrow and I am so excited.

I'm 11 days post op and down about 17 pounds. I'm pretty happy

How do you feel? This message sounds like you feel great!!!! Lol
