Congrats!  Mine is set for May 3!  I've been trying to get to that date for almost two years! Isn't it exciting!?!

Hello!

I am new to the board and can use some advice/ideas from anyone!!

I am approved and have schedule gastric bypass on May 4 2010 with Dr.Schram at the Barix clinic in Ypsilanti MI......

All the staff has been very helpfull but some pre and post surgury do's and donts from actual patients would be super helpful. Especially anyone who was at Barix!! Also a "buddy" or two with dates around the same as mine would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance to all!!

I am scheduled to have my RNY on May 4th.  Have my EGD scheduled for April 22nd.  Hospital will call to schedule labs and chest x-ray.  I am excited but wi**** was sooner.  Let's all stay in touch.

It is exciting!  But wow all the appointments!  They wanted to schedule my surgery for April 12 or the 26th but I am going on a camping trip from April 15 through the 18 so that would put me on the liquid diet on a camping trip.  So we decided to set my nutrition appointment up for the Friday before my trip and I will start the 2 week liquid diet the day after I get back on the 19th.  I have been working on having this surgery for almost 2 years!  And now that it's so close I am almost disbelieving!

I'm scheduled for May 3 also!  I'm having the VSG.  Best of luck and I'd be happy to be a date buddy with you.
