Hi anyone having surgery in May, I am looking for a buddy. Thanks.

I am having surgery May 29th, getting pretty nervous! I am not sure what vitamins I should be buying can anyone help me with this

Congratulations!! I'm having mine on May 27th! Who is your surgeon?

Thank you, and Congratulations to you also! My surgeon is Dr.Umbach, who is yours?

Mine is Dr. Aceves! I can't wait!

I can't wait either, sometimes I feel so unprepared though! Good luck to you!!

I am one more night away from surgery...May 5th. I am in Southern California and I have been pursuing the surgery since 2008. Can't believe I am actually a day away. My insurance and medical group required 32 weeks worth of classes and support groups. It was a 3 hour round trip at least once a week but I made it! I am having the bypass and will be kept for a minimum of 48 hours. I am so thankful for this site and to all of you who share your stories. Thanks to you all! Keep sharing and I hope we can continue to help one another through the ups and downs. God Bless You All...

Good Luck Tomorrow, Angelface. My surgery is tomorrow too. I hope everything goes well for both of us!

I am having mine may 15th im extremely nervous.

I'm having my surgery on Monday May 12th. I've been on the liquid diet for 7 days...yesterday I had cottage cheese and an Atkins Meal so i cheated. I guess it wasn't a bad cheat but back on the wagon today. I was just to HUNGRY and felt like i was going to puke all day so i had a little chicken and green beans. 7 Days till surgery and i'm nervous and excited at the same time. I've already lost about 10 lbs and have been working out 45 min each day.

I am May 13th in CA. Good luck!

Thank you, and good luck

I am also using celebrate vitamins. Good luck!

Any preop diet for u

I am having mine May 13th. Good luck!

I am having surgery May 15th. Just found out last week. I'm super excited and nervous.

Any preop diet for u

I have a day before pre-op clear liquid diet and nothing after midnight the night before the surgery.

My surgery is May 13th. I just ordered all my vitamins through dietdirect.com and I also ordered biotin! I'm petrified about losing my hair, other than that I feel pretty good about the whole process.

So I've been on the Liquid diet for 7 days..7 more to go. Today I had to get my blood drawn to determine my Blood type. I got weighed too and have lost 15LBS on the liquid diet. Surgery is scheduled for next Monday. I only had a few times where I had to put something in my stomach and did. I ate ATKINS meals or a small piece of chicken breast. I'm going to try like heck this week to only drink the liquid diet. I"ve been going to the GYM every morning and walking 2 miles. That has made a HUGE difference and believe it or not i'm enjoying it. I feel soo good afterward and love jamming to my 80's music while walking. So total before surgery i'm down 37LBS. Here is to a good week on the liquid diet!!!BTW I HATE sleeping with the CPAP machine I can't wait to get off that stupid thing!

hahaha! I feel ya on that one!! I'm sick of wearing mine too. Just make sure you don't stop using it abruptly -- the sleep study technician I had said that people can start gaining the weight back if they get off the CPAP before they stop having sleep apnea.

Hello everyone I just got my surgery date today May 19th with one week liquid diet starting May 12th. Anyone in st louis surgery scheduled with me? I would love to have a partner.
