Being on this site has been very helpful to me and I've only been a member a few days.

I'm getting more excited as well as more nervous as my surgery date approaches.  Everyone is telling me that this is normal.  Sounds like you're all set for your surgery.  I'm going out to buy vitamins, supplies, etc. this coming week. 

I started this process in April of 08 and my surgery date is in about 2 1/2 weeks.  Unfortunately, I don't have any last minute weight loss tips since I am going on a liquid diet for 9 days before my surgery.

I'm really glad that you're staying connected to others who are going through the process.  It's inspiring me to do the same.

I look forward to hearing about your progress and soon, I will be joining you.

 

Hello Tamara you will find this website very helpful to you and  to know there are so many people out there who are sharing this experience as you, and feeling the same way as you, you are gonna love it!!!

Hi, I am new here to this forum.  My surgery is schedule 1/19/08.  I  am so excited, nervous, all at the same time.  I am a  RN, but I have never had surgery.  I now the talk now I will walk it also, lol.

Wecome to the board foxy. I will probably be asking this question when my day comes. Don't forget slippers or non skids socks. Also your cpap if you are on one. I don't plan on taking much to the hospital. I will take my cell phone and mp3 player.
Good luck.

Hi Tamara. It is great to have you here. I am excited for you. I am currently doing a 30 day pre op diet that i have to complete for the nut. I am 4 days into it and doing pretty well. I wasn't expecting this so I have been kind of bummed about it as it will make me have a Feb surgery. I have been on this board for a long time though so I am staying. Congrats on your date.
