New March 17 Person!

I was originally scheduled for May 7 - open RNY. I went to the doc yesterday for a weight check and they said I had lost so much that they were going to push the date up. I said OK figuring it would be the end of April. I got back to work and got a phone call saying my new date is March 17!!! Only 19 days away!! I am so excited yet so scared! What have I gotten myself into! I am totally at peace with the decision to have the surgery. I am fully educated and supported. But it just seems so soon! Is anyone else feeling this way? I got my May 7 date before Christmas so I have been living with it for a while - but it was always a ways out there that I didn't need to think hard about it. Hope to hear from everyone soon! Deb

My date is 3/17, I found this out last friday!!! I am soooo excited, but now I am scared. Do you have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks with just 1 meal a day?

I don't have to do the liquid diet, etc. Nothing by mouth from 6pm on that Sunday into Monday. I have to take my morning pills before coming to the hospital. I do have to have an EKG tomorrow as when I had it done several months ago, the tech had a problem which has been documented so there is a little hiccup on the graph. They want to make sure everything is 100%. Then I have to do the pre-op admissions in the next week or so whi*****ludes ECG, blood work, physcial, meet with anthesia doc, etc. Relatively painless (ha, ha!). I am getting excited! I wish I could get my brain to shut off at night though! Deb

Congrats.....well I'm also going in on March 17th I've known my date since January and it starting to feel like forever that wait.....I'm so excited so I guess that happiness is slowing me down....feels like Christmas as a kid again....

Congratulations, you have really gotten yourself ready mentally and physically. I am trying to do that too and only 11 more sleeps for me- Anxious is the word- Good luck Jen

I to have a March 17th date for RNY!
