    I had my gastric bypass surgery on 02/12 and I stayed overnight at the hospital (Emory at John's Creek, GA). The procedure took about 2 hours, then I was in recovery, then eventually taken to my room.

Monday is coming up so fast. Finished my last day of work. Today, I think I need to finish a bunch of house cleaning, make a shopping trip for last minute things, and I probably should start packing. So nervous!!!!

I've also suffered from some last minute doubts- mostly fueled by the liquid diet weight loss. Between my own dieting and the liquid dieting, I'm down 30 pounds. I'm starting to look and feel good, and people are noticing. When I tell them I'm having WLS, they're mostly shocked. That hasn't helped. Thankfully, my lovely family has kept me focused and reminded me how many times I've done this yoyo.

Good luck to you on Monday Melanie36 I'm getting scared too but I'm ready to look and feel better about myself i go in on Thursday the 19 i pray for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery for us all this week take care and post i be waiting to read your journey : )

Good luck Melanie!! I hear you about last minute thoughts! When I get nervous and start second guessing myself I just trust that the months of research and preparation to get to this date have prepared me for what's ahead! My surgery is also this week! Keep us posted when you can! Good luck!

Was discharged from the hospital tonight . Stayed an extra day because my oxygen

Good luck on your recovery!!

Woot! We just bought a mutual valentines gift! We ponied up some $$$ and got a super nice treadmill and weight bench! I invited over some friends and they assembled it for us. It's gorgeous! I'm all set for light, post op walking and eventual Couch to 5K training!

My only complaint postop has been about being plugged up...took almost a week to get back flowing again, and I just want it to stop lol..Other than that, eating and drinking were a nonissue, have no issues getting my food, shakes and drinks down.. I am enjoying the ability to walk 2-3miles a day on my errand days.. This surgery was far easier than my csections and gallbladder.

Omg have to be to the hospital for my surgery in less than 24 hours. Wow how the time has flew by (when I never thought it would get here) . Its been 18 years I've been looking into RNY and its almost finally here. Thanks to everyone for all the presurgical support and assistance. I'll update as soon as I can postop. We are having a family day today, going to a movie then swimming at an indoor pool, not sure if I'll make it back on later. See everyone on the losing side: )

Two days before surgery and I get a head cold. :( some one please call me a whaaambulance.
