I GOT MY DATE!!! April 7th!!!!!

I was just wondering I anyone else shared this date, and are you still nervous??? Im still a little nervous about the diet after surgery

I have the same date (4/7/04) - Just a little nervous as the date approaches because I have two daughters ages (23 - Bobbi Jo & 7 - Kathy) and two grandchildren ages (4 - Joey & 3 - Susie) and everybody lives with me. But, since I met with my surgeon - Dr. Kirkland I have felt more comfortable and less nervous because he has 16 years experience with doing the open RNY and I found out from him that his surgery only takes 1/2 hour. I am an RN and knowing that I only have to be under anethesia and on the operating table for a short period of time also reduces my stress level. I live in PA and I am having my surgery at PA Hospital. Regarding your diet after surgery - the people that I have spoken to that have had the surgery say they are not even hungry and have to remind themselves to eat - Just remember it is very important to follow your surgeons and nutrionist guidelines regarding your post-op nutrional intake. I am looking forward to regaining my health and living life again. I wish you well and much success on your weight loss journey. Take care and God Bless. Let me know how you are doing since we have the same dates and I will let you know how I am doing - if you want) Sue

Hi Billie-Joe, My name is Bonita Porter and YES I have the same date as you I can not believe it!!!!!!! I'm very nervous because I have a hernia which may cause my doctor to not be able to perform my surgery but he will not know until he opens me up. Well I just wanted to say congrats and if you ever want to talk my e-mail address is [email protected]
