CONGRATLATIONS and Good Luck!! Mine is the day after yours in Georgia. Sue

CONGRATULATIONS Lisa!!! My RNY is scheduled the day before yours. Sue

I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I am just nervous about this liquid fast that I have to do 2 weeks before. Any advice..... Mo

Yesterday I got my RNY surgery date. It's set for March 13th!!! Yaaaay!!! I think I'm still in a bit of shock. I've been on this road for nearly 15 months. I can't believe it'll actually happen!!! Yaaaay!!! Sue

It's okay to be scared. My date is March 1 and I have too much to do right now to be scared. I 'm and RN too, on a surgical floor and I have run into quite a few women who have come in for their tummy tucks and they look as if they've never been fat. They have energy, they feel good, their medical problems are better or gone. Some have had complications but nothing life threatening. I have asked them all the same question, would you do it again?...they all say yes...You will be okay. As a nurses, we know too much. You know what I'm afraid of, IV's, and blood draws. I don't have very good veins and I know its going to hurt. I know they are going to put a huge 18 gauge in my hand while I'm out and I won't be able to protest. Those IV's never last more than a few hours!! I guess what I'm trying to tell you is this is a very positive change you are making in your life and it will be okay!! Try to keep your sense of humor (I know you have one) stay focused and know that there are people here to help you!! GOOD LUCK!! Signed, Another RN
