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....

I am having my surgery on 3/17, the lapriscopic gastric bypass.

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

Congrats to you too. I just can't figure out what to wear after. My doc's packet said to wear loose fitting pajamas. Well with my figure if they're loose around the stomach they're coming down as I walk. LOL. Hope all goes well with you as well. Hope to hear from you on the forum again. Dotti

I am getting nervous. My Dr. did not give me a liquid diet for a week, but a NO FAT diet... that is hard to have 0 fat. He said it was to shrink the liver. Anyone just eat a "last supper" and have the surgery and have everything be ok? I am not like freaking out to have fast food or anything, just some Indian food that I really like. No sure if it good for me or not. LOL. Any March 4th people want to be pals? i am open to sharing recipies and funny stories! Thanks, Tanya in Washington.
