Looking for preop friends :)

I am currently preop although I have done all my clearances and have my surgery date (9/21). Just looking for some preop friends to talk with up until (and after) surgery. We could help keep eachother on track diet wise, and could help ease any fears we are having. (we all have those fears that our non-overweight friends or spouses just don't quite get). I am located in upstate NY but I am open to talking to anyone from any location. I do have facebook etc if you prefer chatting that way. Who knows, we may become great friends!:)

I'm pre-op as well! Can always use folks to mutually encourage!

Pre-Op here too!! I'm hoping to get my surgery date today, and anticipate it to be sometime in September. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time! Happy to have found others to share this with!

I am RNY pre-op I am Two weeks from today. 8-25. My pre-op diet is just 1200 calories until two days before surgery then liquid for two days. I am finally getting close.

Pre-op here too! Have my final visit of 6 with the nutritionist on 9/3 and they are anticipating scheduling me for around 9/21. I am really excited but very nervous!

I actually got a surgery date today of 9/2! I could not stop crying when the office called me to schedule. I went through such a range of emotions that I didn't even expect to!

I am so excited for all of us..we're going to kick some weight loss butt and get healthy in the process!

Congrats Nikikin!! I'm keeping my eyes glued to the phone waiting for the call! They are just waiting on one more clearance letter to come in!

Thanks @@choosehope!! I am confident that your call is going to come before you know it! Keep us posted! <3

This is so great! I'm going to attempt to add you all as friends on here.
