HI All, don't remember if I have posted here or not in the past, but any way Hello All, I'm from MA I'm having my Lap RNY at MGH by Dr Janey Pratt. It's been really hard waiting for my Date, I started researching WLS over a year ago but did not decide to actually take the first step until last August , I still have some pre op tests to be completed and can't wait till they are done especially the colonosocpy I'm dreding that one for sure Any One else here from MA having surgery at MGH in March? Just wondering as I have not started the Classes Yet Hugs to you all, Anna

Hi, Anna! Welcome to the "Marchers"! Don't fret 'bout the colonoscopy...they'll give ya Vitamin V (valium) or something just as warm and fuzzy, and you won't even realize what happened! See ya 'round! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to all Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles

Hiya Anna, Don't sweat the colonoscopy. Been there done that. Other than the indignity of it all, the valium that Kimmer talked about does wonders!!! Hugs, Mo

Hi Anna I'm from Mass too... I actually lived in Somerville when I was little. I lived off Broadway I'm having my surgery at Boston Medical Center On March 12th. Man, I had my first consult on April 25, 2003, so I know how you feel about the long wait. I got my date and November and have been waiting patiently (well, sorda kinda patiently) I'm so excited that its finally almost here. Anyway, Welcome to the "Marchers" you'll have a lot of fun here. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you have an uneventful surgery and a safe and speedy recovery!!!! Kelley MARCH RULES 34 days to go! YEAH BABY!
