Lap RNY 08/06/03

I got approved on friday and my surgery is on 8/6/03. I/m excited but nervous....any suggestions for relaxation therapy.Thanks Avis

Avis, Congratulations on your surgery date! I too have my date but it is later in the month of August. All I can tell you regarding the best relaxation therapy...give it to God, trust him that he will see you through your surgery! All will be ok. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Congrats! We have the same surgery date! I am having the Lap RNY on 8/6 as well. I just started getting anxious last night. I am trying to keep a slim picture of me in my mind to keep the butterflies away! I just keep telling myself what my surgeon said in the inital information meeting. He said that most people can still eat anything they want, just in smaller amounts. I have heard so many stories of people having their "last meal." Dr. Grant said that is a myth and just a source of mental anguish and not to put ourselves through that. He is really great! I will be eager to hear from you after surgery to comapre "war" stories!! GOOD LUCK!
