Monday May 24th

Hi all, I am going in Monday May 24th along with my sister Yvonne . Anyone else with this day? Right now I am currently struggling through the wait..I wi**** would up and be Monday already...lol although its in two days right now its rough because I am on a clear liquid diet until surgery. Would love to hear :chat: how some of you guys are preparing for surgery. Also anyone have a 'check list' for what to bring to the hospital? Thanks and Best of Luck to all you May Dates! Sara in NY

I had my surgery 8 days ago. I think that the most important things that I took were slippers, hairbrush, and tooth brush and tooth paste. You really dont need anything else. Congrats on you day. You will be in my thoughts Monday. -Gerriann post-op 8 days 12+ pounds gone forever.

Thanks so Much Gerriann, glad your doing well after your surgery. Keep on losing baby Sara

Hi Sara The best of luck to you and your sister tomorrow. ! Tomorrow is my surgery date also.... I have to take Mag. Citrate by noon today then clear liqiuds until 11:59 PM this nothing to drink after midnight As far as a check off list it was tooth paste, tooth brush, brush/comb, deodorant,robe slippers,and a comforable outfit for going home.I was advised not to bring a night gown or PJ's that the hospital gown would be better. Friends gave me books to read; which will help the time pass. I wi**** was here already...Good luck to the 2 of you and see you on the loosing side Rita

Sara, I also will be having surgery tomorrow. I've been tied up with dance recitals Friday and yesterday, so my mind has been pretty much occupied. The only thing is I really didn't get to eat a good last meal, because of the recital and now I'm also on clear liquids! Oh well! I have a sense of calmness that I really an surprised at. I haven't even packed a bag for the hospital! Best of luck and a prayer for you tomorrow! Anita

hello yep we are sister in wls world my surgery is at 10am and yes the waiting game is the hardest, but today I am very calm which I am very surprised about that.

YaY to all of us!!! Please KEEP IN TOUCH! Email me @ [email protected] It would be so great if we all kept in touch and informed one another of the changes, ideas, and problems we are going through and encountering. Feel free to email me about anything or everything Sara in NY

Sara, Congrats on the date and I'm glad that you have someone else with you on this life changing ride. I am 3 weeks post op and had open RNY. The best tool that I took to the hospital was a back scratcher! Why? To not only reach my back but my feet because I couldn't use my stomach muscles. It was a blessing! My thoughts are with you and your sister. Blessings, Alicia 3 wks p.o. 18 lbs lost
