Scheduled for 2/3/09

Someone on the Roux-en-y board suggested that the growing number of folks scheduled for Feb should start a board - looks like you beat us to it!

You found it!  This board has been dead, though, because I keep checking!!

80 days left for me! Less for you!

Are you doing anything special to get ready?

I think I was figuring it out at exactly the same time you were posting :)

I'm very lucky - I have a very supportive group of friends (and one of them had the surgery about a decade ago) so I'm getting a lot of good advice and they're planning to help a lot after surgery (staying with me while DH is at work, taking the dog out, making broth etc)

My To-Do list is:

-  chest x-ray
-  EKG
- physical
- lose at least another 8 poundes before liquid diet
 - pre-op class
- get Will, Health Directive and Final Arrangements docs signed and notarized
- put together packing list for Hospital.  So far, I've got
  - chap stick
  - undies x4
  - socks x4
  - laptop
  - robe
  - slippers
  - book
  - ditty bag (personal care stuff)

How about you?  What are you planning to do between now and surgery and what are you planning to pack?

Hi My name is Sharon and I'm scheduled for Feb. 10 at Ypsilanti, Mich. I go for my preop on Jan. 26/09.  I don't know of anything else that I have to do before surgery.  I am travelling from London,Ont.  I am not afraid of the surgery I am only nervous. I have had several surgeries before.  If anyone wants to contact me I can be reached at [email protected].  I have already in contact with a support group here in the city.  Sharon
