Topic: RE: Tired of Waiting
I totally agree, we are the same day and it  moving seems like the days are just slowly moving.  I am praying that my appt is really early, so that maybe I can be up and moving by night time.  I guess I will hear sometime on Tuesday.  I can say I am very excited to have it done, but I am getting a little nervous.   I have a friend that is an RN and I have not told her that I am having the surgery and I am really starting to feel guilty.  I am just not sure if I should tell her or not, my husband thinks I should be quiet about it because she can be a little pushy and will want to be there with the day of surgery.  I feel bad too because my children do not know either, they are 4 and 3. I just think that telling them would upset them more right now, they don't like when I go to work.  Any suggestions???

Topic: looking for patients of Dr. David Gould

Well my surgery is exactly 16 days away and I am getting a little nervous. I know  I am in very good hands with Dr. Gould but it is still a major surgery. I just want it to get here and be over with, I am so looking forward to starting my new life after surgery its just all the waiting that I have had to do and now my surgery scheduled for 1:40 in the afternoon. so I have all moring to sit and think about it not that I am not always thinking about it know.

I am hoping to find some of Dr. Goulds patients on here to be able to ask them some questions. So if you have had Dr. David Gould as your surgeon  at Elliott Hosp. in NH please send me a message.

Thanks,

Lynn

Melissa,

Welcome to the January board and congratulations on your surgery date.  You will be well prepared and you'll do great with your liquid diet too.  It's a challenge but keep you eye on the prize and time will pass in no time.

Can't wait until we're all sitting on the losers bench!

Topic: RE: 4 more days!!!
Jan,

You have given me some great suggestions, thanks SO much.  I was toying with the Bariatric Advantage vitamins, but hate to spend that amount on them if I won't like the taste in the end.  The Flintstones complete sounds like the way to go for now.  I will also need to get my chewable calcium although, UCSF where I will have my surgery says Tums are ok.  HUH!  I will also look for the Slimfast you mentioned ats that's great on protein.  I will look for that.

Please keep in touch.  I would love to add you to my friends list, please feel free to do the same.
