Hi fellow RNY patients!

I received a phone call this past Monday the 24th saying my perspective date is June 30th obviously if all previous tests go according to plan!

Anyone else having their surgery this June??

well I had my surgery yesterday and I am amazed by the pain I have. They keep telling me its gas, but it feels like I am getting stabbed. Hope this doesn't last long. Will be coming home today.

My Date is set for June 30th, im excited an scared at the same time. My GW is 140lbs what I use to weighed before I had children. 140lbs is what I should weight in anyway because im 5"6. Its gonna be alotta work an im very confident ill get there!

I go for my preop testing this afternoon -- surgery Monday morning. That is if insurance cooperates -- I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday that insurance needed a copy of my sleep study report from last year. They already had a clearance letter from the pulmonologist and I've been on cpap for a year but they were asking for one more piece of info. I'm praying this doesn't mean my surgery is going to get denied after pre-approval.

Send happy thoughts my way.

Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

Chrisflowers.. I was told that pain could be gas but also from all the poking and prodding they do on the left side. Get up and walk walk walk...
