I hope to get to know some of you guys...I am having RNY May 26th if all goes as planned. I would like to start collecting tid bits of into in a binder to keep handy, especially as the day gets closer. So, if anyone finds anything useful to share please post!

Good luck to you too!! I, too, am so glad I have this site. It has been a daily "check' for me. Helping me to see that so many people do well with RNY. I will be sending you good and healthy thoughts! May will be here before we know it!

Welp I have been moved up. So long my fellow May clubers. I was moved to April 10, 2008!!!! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I am from upstate NY and my surgery is May 5th in Utica. I was nervous (well still am) but getting very excited. The count down has begun!! Kristin

I am pretty much an open book so I have told my entire family and all of my coworkers and friends. I live in a small town and I am in the legal community and a bunch of the courthouse staff have had the surgery so they all know because I have talked to them about their experiences, so basically my whole small legal community knows. Same goes for the waitresses at my favorite restaurants in town, they all knew my orders by heart and as I have given up diet soda and altered my diet in preparation for surgery, so I've explained why. I figure I am completely comfortable with my decision to have this surgery and I don't really care what other people think about my decision. It's not going to change the fact that I am doing what is right for me and their approval/disapproval does not matter one bit. And as a bonus, I have had several people ask me about the surgery and have been able to provide some education to them about the surgery. Just my two cents.
