Hello all. I have been overweight my entire life, and now is time for a change. I am from Missouri, the show me state, and hopefully after surgery I won't be ashamed to "show me"!!!!! You know the story, not wanting to go out in public, ashamed of not being able to fit in chairs, or in one seat on the airplane. My son lives in Alaska, and I was brave enough two years ago to fly there, needed two seats on the plane of course, but it was so hard to deal with the looks from people everywhere. I am a good person inside, sense of humor, etc. People don't see that, do they? Anyway, I am excited and scared, but very hopeful. If anyone out there has any ideas or experiences that would help, I would be appreciative of any information those who have experienced it or going to experience a rou-en-y gastric bypass.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the 2 week diet prior to surgery is like?

I finally got the good news yesterday, after MONTHS of waiting. Can't wait to get the show on the road!

Here's to hoping everyone's surgeries this moth are successful! I have a nervous excitement myself. There's still a part of me screaming inside saying "DON'T DO IT" but then my rational part of me tells that voice to shut up LOL

It sounds like you are ready. Blessings and well wishes. My date is May 12th.
