Hi JoAnn, I hqave my last pre-op visit in the morning 3rd. I will be having an open RNY on the 9th. I will be thinking good thoughts for all of us who will be having our WLS on the 9th and 10th...Brenda from Apopka, FL

Hi Deborah, I'm having my surgery on the 9th. I'm having mine in Ocala, Florida. I live about 11o miles from the hospital and I'm scared too. The closer it gets to the day the more anxious I get. Are you eating all the foods that you think that your never going to get to eat again? Boy, I am. My husband bought steaks for the 4th, I don't really like steak, but they look real good. My nephew lives in Jackson Fl, and he is going to bring alot of seafood. Now thats what I really like. I hope all goes well for you. Lets keep in touch... Brenda from Apopka, FL
