I am!! My surgery is scheduled for 10 am on 4/3. I go to my last pre-op appointment tomorrow, and I guess I'll start my pre-op diet on Thursday. I have lived in SC for the past 2 1/2 years, but am originally from Ohio. Best of luck to you!! Stay in touch so that we can compare notes! It's nice to finally know of someone with the same surgery date!

Glad to meet you :). I go tomorrow for my pre-op testing for the surgery. I am lucky, I only have to do my clear liquid diet on the day before surgery. I can't believe it is all happening in about 2 weeks!!! Yes, definitely stay in touch!!

I am way up in northwest NJ. Nice to meet you ! Looking forward for this journey. I am a bundle of emotions right now though, lol.

I'm so glad to finally hear of some others having surgery on the same day as me. We should all keep in touch for sure. It'll be great to share our stories as we go through this process. Best of luck to all of you!!

So unreal!! What time is your surgery? Mines at 10 am.

I won't know the time until the day before. I hope it isn't too early lol, I live an hour away from the hospital!

For your sake, I hope so too! Even though my surgery isn't until 10 am, I have to be there at 7. Yuck!! I know I'll be a nervous wreck while I wait! Best of luck, and stay in touch post op if you can!

well We probably won't sleep much the night before anyway !

Hi All... I'm on 4/3 also in Boston.. Did my pre-op testing last Thursday. My surgery is at 11 AM.

I'm getting so excited, and nervous!! I'm spending my weekend cleaning my house. I live alone, but will have many people in And out if needed. Are you all scheduled to stay in the hospital for 2 nights ? They say I should be out early Saturday afternoon..

I'm going to try and pop on while I'm in there. I'll look for all of you and say HI to our new lives ;)

Hi and welcome to the 4/3 club lol! I am staying in the hospital for 1 night. I am in NJ. I am getting very nervous! I know this is the best decision and I have been working a long time to get here, but I get these panic thoughts of "what the heck are you doing". April 3rd, just get here already!!

Hi Lynne! My surgery is at 10 am on Thursday. My surgeon says two nights, but I've heard of people just staying one night. Guess it'll depend on how I feel by then. I'm in SC. Best of luck to you, and please stay in touch!

I am going to bring my phone so I can get on the internet too! I am afraid to bring my iPad though.

Hi... Yes I'm definitely bringing my phone and thought of bringing my iPad too ???

My surgeon says I can't hold anything more than 16 oz's for a few days? Surely my iPad weighs more than that..

I don't know, I got my bag out to start putting my things together. By reading everything on here and what people took with them, I'm going to end up with a damn trunk. Lmao...

What is everyone else bringing ?? It sure is setting in though. Quite the life changer, but by choice !!!
