Hi Lissa
Great to have you aboard the April bus . My date is 20th , and I am having a revision from band to sleeve. I have 2 sons back home in England plus one grandson back there too. One day I will go back there to live. I think I must be the oldest on the April list as I am 60 years young but hey, age is but a number right?
Keep posting to let us know how it all goes for you
Hugs

Hi Lissa. I am Kathy. Had my RNY this last Tuesday. Up and around although still sore. Things are slowly improving though. Good luck to you with your surgery. Wishing you the speedy recovery too.

Had an RNY..Doc had me drink a bottle of Citrate of Magnisium the night before. Was totally empty by the next morning for sure. But it was not awful.

My doctor doesn't require bowel prep the day before surgery. However, he does require a 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery, so I would guess he gets the same results, just takes longer !

Topic: Bowel Prep???
Did you bowel prep the day before surgery??? My surgery is Monday and my surgeon's group said I don't need to bowel prep and gave me a diet to follow the day before surgery. My primary care doc thinks I should bowel prep. Have to say I'm not looking forward to it and the diet looks a lot more appetizing. Any insight???
