Hi Shelley, This is a great idea and thank you for organizing it! I was reading through your board and you said you finished all of your pre-op stuff...I dont do mine until the week before my surgery...is this normal? I have completed all the "required" things but the ekg's, blood, etc...is the 13th and then my surgery is the 20th. AAAHHHH!! sorry, felt the need to do that Anyway, here is my info Mariam RNY February 20th, Concord, CA [email protected] Thanks again Shelley! Mariam

Thanks Donna! I see you just joined...did your move this fast also? mariam

Linda, is someone going to post with updates for us on how your surgery went? Can you believe we are this close? WOW! mariam

Shelley, Hey, add me to the list please. My date is February 5th; open RNY with Dr. Coster in Grinnell, IA. Thanks! Good luck to all of us February soon to be "losers"!!!!! Take care, Jillybean

I would love to!. I think I wil also do the liquid diet two weeks prior even if he doesn't suggest it. I think getting into the habit will be better than being shocked afterwards.
