June 16, 201511 yr Hi there, looking for a July 30th buddy. Having RNY. Just about 6 weeks away. Yikes, it's coming up fast!
July 2, 201511 yr Author I agree @joanncann. I go up and down on how I feel about. I'm so excited to have it done, but scared on the actual procedure and being in pain. I have a high tolerance to pain, but not sure how much I will be able to handle. Which procedure you having done?
July 3, 201511 yr Hi, I'm scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on July 27th. I'm feeling like you cdesimone. I'm excited one minute and nervous the next my emotions are all over the place LOL.

July 3, 201511 yr @@cdesimone good luck on your liquid diet please keep me posted I'm sure I will start mine soon after you. Just remember to take it one day at a time.
July 4, 201511 yr I'm having RNY August 4th and I'm nervous as heck. I too keep changing my mind from one minute to the next even though I know I want and need the surgery.
July 4, 201511 yr Author I'm having the gastric bypass as well. When I started this back in February, I thought to myself well I'll see what the next appointment brings. And I just kept going with it. I know I want it, but scared of it too. So right now, its a date to me and I'm driving myself torward that date. I've scared, happy, nervous, excited....everything! So glad I have this place to just express myself freely where I know others might feel the same way. ????
July 4, 201511 yr I literally emailed my coordinator every day for a week switching between the sleeve and bypass until she told me I wasn't ready and scheduled another doctors talk. I know I'm ready, I had the band and did great for 5 years until it was removed for medical reasons. I know I can deal with restriction. It's just the invasive procedure that scares me. Overall, I'm excited and hopeful all will be well.
July 5, 201511 yr Awesome @@tcon!!! Looking forward to this.Yes! It's approaching fast! Good luck and please keep in touch. When do you start your liquid diet?
