surgery date set 3.23.09

Yes! at 5:30 pm this evening I received the call from the doctors office and I haven't been able to sit still since! I guess because I was too worried it wouldn't happen, I have nothing ready! I will work on it for the next 2 weekends. I just hope I don't forget anything. Good luck to you! Keep us  posted !

whoooo hoooo  yeah for you...what a wonderful feeling isn't it.... i was on cloud nine and a little numb at first...then slowly as i started spreading the word i had a surgery date the reality started to set in.... i am soooo ready now.... you will be ready in no time...... when is your surgery date...
i have very happy and excited for you...we will continue our journey together.... "smile"

Congrats!!! My RNY Op date is 3-23-09 too!!  Good luck to you and all of us 3-23-09ers!!!!!!

how wonderful for us, i am just as excited for you as i am for myself.  It would be nice to keep in touch, bounce things off each other from time to time. 

Yes, definetly...Did you have to do the 2 week pre op liquid diet?  I did and am and it's not very fun, but I guess it helps shrink your liver and get you ready for the diet after surgery.  Good luck!! P.s. you don't look overweight in you pic!

I didn't have to do any prep diet, i am happy about that, he didn't think it was necessary.  I am over weight, i am 5'3 and i weigh in at 252, as of yesterday at my preop appointment.  the pic i have there was taken last summer, if i stood up you could see me better.....
good luck to you to... are you nervous at all?

I'm having LapRNY on the 23rd as well! Best wishes and a speedy recovery for all of us 23'ers!! It'll be a great and blessed day!
