I have open RNY on Aug. 10, our 39th anniversary is Aug. 12, and my birthday is Aug. 16. I really screwed things up--no anniversary dinner and no birthday cake! LOL But my husband said that I got the biggest birthiversary gift ever--he's paying for WLS for me! He's soooooo good to me. Linda

Yikes! Now Im nervous....I was already nervous. Now its worse. Good luck to all you others going in August! We can go thru this together! LOL, my anniversary is August 16th. Guess there won't be any candle light dinners that night ...or anything else for that matter. Poor Mike

My date is August 10th! YAY

Mine is August 7th!!

They set my surgery for Friday August 11th and I still have pre- op test to do on the 7th and 8th ( talk about cutting it short and if there is any problem then wont they move my date further away?) I am nervous obviously cause of the surgery and ability to change my whole world. I have to do a 2 week 1000 calorie all liquid diet before they do surgery so there wont be any cheating. I am scared of failing this cause my mind says "but you wont have this or that food ever again" such as sweets and red meat. I know that those are what got me here in the first place so I am in that catch 22 right now. Does anyone else have to go a diet before your surgery? Have you started your walking or exercise now before the surgery?
