Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

So I have a bit of nausea but I'm sure I ate a bit too mich, it was only 1/2C but I don't think I'm going to be able to get anymore of that in without feeling this way for a while. Who knew, half a cup could fill up someone so much. Now I have to wait an hour or so before I take my last pills of the day. A note to all, take your pills before your meals, otherwise it might be hard to get them in once you move from the full liquid stage.

I'm posting some before pics tonight since I'll be up at 3am to get ready and be at the hospital by 4:45. These pics were today. ..and I'm officially down 15 pounds from my 2 week liquid diet. Ooops. I'm sideways in my pics. I'm gonna see if I can turn myself around, lol.

You have all of tomorrow to sleep. Think surgery as the ultimate rest and relaxation

i think the only way I'll sleep Wednesday is with the help of Ambien!

I'm 19 and will be having RNY on the 22nd I have a lot of mixed emotions but I'm really excited. My pre op appointment is tomorrow the 20th at 1:00. Only 2 days until surgery!

Ummm, yeah, guess I'll have to sleep after surgery because I barely slept at all. I was still awake at 12:30, slept a bit, awake again at 1:45 and now up again to get ready. Talk to you all later today!

I'm so glad I joined this board and followed this thread. You gals are awesome! Thank you for the positive encouragement. I know I'll be on track from here on out...I don't want to screw this up!

I'm here! Have my lovely gown on. It's this big bulky gown they call The Bair Paw. It connects to a hose to blow either warm or cool air in, whichever you need!

Adorbs pre-surgery pictures @amylynns. Time to Rock and Roll .....!

Hi@@lillian123, welcome to our growing losers bench. A little afraid? But excited, you come to the right place. Last night I was having a major talk with myself and I. So, glad I wasn't scheduled for surgery then or I would have walked out. Today I have come to my senses. It's a roller coaster ride and I don't like those one bit.

@@Beni Good luck to this weeks Gladiators

You got this girl!

@ Amylynns we've got you today!!!!

I'm here and checked in!!! Let's do this!! Congratulations to all having surgery this morning!! Before pics
