July 26

I can't believe I only have 17 days left!! I am so excited. I have been having a hard time with eating whatever this week, but I think it is because my family was gone all week. Next week should be better since they are coming home tonight. Anybody else with this date give me a holler. Darcy

Hi Darcy- There is a nice group of us set for the 26th! I am one of them! I can't believe it's only 17 days. I have my last pre-op apt. with surgeon on Tuesday. Wow! 17 days-- still can't believe it! Linda

I am one of them too. We have our own mini-group..the 26thr's..or somethin like that..lol I have been eating a lot too..but not for very much longer!! I have my upper GI on the 21st along with my pre-op labs. Started taking my Vits and protein shakes..Went shopping yesterday..got sf jello, pops, broth..all like that. Are you two having open or lap? best of luck to us all!!! Amy

Darcy I am also a 26er and I was just complaining to my husband that I had TWO full more weeks. Now that you put it into days I feel much better. At times is seems that the time flys by and then there are the moments where I think the date will never come. Good luck to you! And may all of us 26ers have a safe and healthy day 17 days from now! God Bless Jayme

I am having lap. Hopefully it won't turn into open. I have started buying some food. I don't want to buy too much of anything incase I end up not liking it after surgery.

I am also having surgery on the 26th. I can't wait. I will be seeing another surgeon on Monday to have a Greenfield filter before surgery. Dr. Marshall says he will also remove my gallblatter at the same time since I have been having some problems with it. He says that the open RNY with the gallblatter should only take about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Good luck to all the 26'ers and everyone else having surgery. Sally
