Topic: RE: whos joining me on APRIL 3RD???
I'll be your surgery sis!!! I was scheduled for 3/31 - and then changed it to 4/3/08!!
I am very excited - ready to do this - but my hubby and kids (3 teens) are not being very supportive. Oh welll, I am doing this for myself!! My surgery time is not until 1:00 pm - so I am wondering if that will make me stay another night? Good luck - talk to you from the loosers bench.
Topic: RE: April Fool's Day! Anyone else on the 1st??
Good luck to you also. I have clear liquids tomorrow and a laxative ****tail in mid afternoon. At the Hospital by 5:30 am.... ugh! But well worth the wait and the hopes for the future. On to smaller and healthier us!

Hi Brandy,
Welcome to the April 7 club! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I had my last meal today with family. I don't know what the difference is. This pre-op diet is supposed to shrink the liver and mine is enlarged, maybe you don't have to shrink yours. I'm still very nervous and I keep waundering if I'm doing the right thing. Good Luck to you.
Please keep in touch, we can share "war stories" Your in my prayers. Lucy

My surgery date is April 7th too! I am extremely nervous and the more I think about it, the more nervous I get. But I also get happier thinking of who the new me will be! My doctor does not have me on a pre-op diet, but I have seen many many people who are on pre-op diets. I wonder why there is a difference. Well, good luck to you and me! 
Topic: RE: April Fool's Day! Anyone else on the 1st??
Yes -- I've also having the RNY. These last few days before the surgery have been driving me crazy! It's all I can think about. I would say that I am a little excited and a lot anxious. I can't wait for it to be over! But only 2 nites and 1 1/2 days to go. Good luck to you!

Congratulations, I started this journey in October or 2007. I was originally all set to do the band too, but after one last meeting with my surgeon I took his advice and started to seriously consider RNY and have now changed my surgery to RNY. Gastric Bypass is hopefully going to be the best tool for me, however I do have times that I wonder if I should have gone with the band like I originally wanted. My hairdresser had RNY last May and she is doing wonderful and has had only one minor complication but says that she would do it all over in a heartbeat. Just being around her is different, she is so full of positive energy and swears that she doesn't know what they did, but she is never hungry anymore. She said that she used to eat all the time and since surgery she just eats to live. Keep in touch.

Hey Kim! Congratulations on having surgery on April 11th! That's my day of surgery as well!. What time is yours at?
I am definitely dreading starting my liquid diet as well. I sadly will be starting mine on April 31st. So tomorrow. I wih I had one more week to eat, but at the same time, I'm glad I'm done. I plan on going through my refrigerator and eat what I can today, throw out what i can't and stock it all up so that i am all prepared for tomorrow.
Anyway, goodluck on yours! You will do fabulously!
