Having my gastric byapass on May 12th

Hi everyone,

My name is Rossella and I am looking for someone that is going to the process of having their surgery around May 12th so that we can support each other. I live in Arlington, VA but location is irrelevant, moral support can be from everywhere. I also just started my pre-op diet yesterday april 28th.

I am excited and scared at the same time...

    Going in soon to meet with my surgeon for the second time on June 8th. The same doctor removed my gallbladder some years ago. I'm super excited!

I am too having my surgery on the 18th. So far I got lucky I don't have to do the pre-op diet. The more and more I think about the upcoming date the scarier it feels.

I am having bypass on May 10th. Today is my 6th day on the pre-op liquid diet and so far it has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I'm really not hungry but have occasional bouts of the munchies - you know, when you wander in the kitchen just looking around for something to eat. When that happens I have a Protein drink and it goes away. I'm getting so excited as the surgery date gets closer! I live in Maryland - not too far from you!

I have mine May 17 and starting preop tomorrow.

Thinking about what a change I am in for from this point on

But looking for it to happen.

I am having my surgery on May 16th... go in tomorrow for my pre-op/diet appointment. I'm not sure exactly what my diet will entail, but I'm thinking liquids only for 10 days... I'm sure I'll be on here whining about this soon! LOL

So exciting, and so surreal... I can't wait, yet, I'm nervous too... I just really hope it all goes well!
