Hi Christina,

I'm having Lap Band revision to RNY on June 8th. Good Luck - I'm starting to get nervous now.

Good Luck!

Christy

 I am having surgery the same day, we are getting so close and I am getting excited. I so look forward to my life after surgery. Where are you and where are you having it done. I am in Washington State and having it at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. 
The count down has really begun. Good luck.

im in missouri and im having it done in columbia, it seems the time is going by so slow then, when I think of when I first started the whole process, it seems its flying by,,,, I wish you the best of luck with everything,

 Wow,
Columbia, MO. I have not heard that in a while. My x mother in law was from there. He mom lived there till she passed this year. My Grand father in Law taught at the deaf and blind school there. Small world. To me time is flying by... I wish you the best of luck as well. We are OH Sisters now and we all need to stick together.
Thanks

Hi Cristal,

I'm having an Open RNY on June 8th, too. Getting excited and nervous. I noticed some people were put on an all liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery - did you hear anything about that? I haven't been given any directions other than to start fasting 24 hours before surgery.

I'm in MN and am having surgery at United Hospital. I wish you well and hope we both have speedy recoveries!

 Jen,
My doc is not having me on any specific diet before surgery. He just recommends lighter eating and being careful not to get to much "fat" intake as it can make things worse.
He wants us to be who we are, but your doc will have his own specific regiment for you. 
Welcome to the group. I am so excited with only 12days left it seems I do not have a lot of time now to do some of the things I need to get done before the surgery. I have been helping my son move this week so this has taken some time too.
Good luck and keep coming back.
