I'm glad you have a date!  I'm also glad my doctor is only putting me on the liquid diet for 2 days.  Of course there is that dreaded 'bowel cleansing'!  Oh well, it will be worth it.  Congratulations on your date!  We are all in this together!

Hello all!  I just got my surgery date yesterday I am having RNY on August 3rd. Seems like a long way away but then I thought it is only about 5 weeks away and I still have stuff to get ready and  then  there is the dreaded 2 week pre-op diet so really I only have 3 weeks to go........sort of....lol. P.S. I live in Colorado

I too,  have a lot to do before the surgery.  I still wi**** was closer, though.  I am all fired up and have such momentum, I don't want to lose it.  I know that as the time gets closer, I'll probably start doubting my decision, but right now, I know it is the best decision I could make.

Let's keep in touch!

I live in Russellville Ky and am having my surgery on Aug11 with Dr. David Dyer in Nashville. Seems like a life time but i am up for the wait. I have so much personal work to do the time will fly by  I am sure.

Okay, I will be waiting to hear when you are having your surgery.  It seems so far away, but I know it will be here before I know it!  Let me know when your date is!

Hi,
 
I'm having the RNY bypass surgery.  I had thought about the band, but long term information isn't out there yet and my doctor has done several revisions on people who had the band and then went on to have the RNY.  I don't know if my insurance will let me have 2 surgeries, so I'm opting for RNY and know I will do well. 

We are so close on surgery dates, we will have to stay in touch to support and help each other!

hi...i just found out my date for surgery is 19 august...i live in wichita, kansas...i'm really nervous but, excited at the same time.  it seems like it's forever away doesn't it?  what type of surgery will you be having for your weight loss...i'm doing the roux-en-y gastric bypass...i've been looking through all the before and after pictures and it gives me hope that my surgery will be successful.   how much weight do you want to lose?  i have to lose at least 130...man, i haven't been under 200 lbs for at least 17 years...i was thinking about it a few years ago but, was afraid when i saw somebody with a huge scar...i kept thinking...what if i'm one of those people who don't heal right....i'm so over that now....just want to be healthy...lol...and thin...so tell me about you....would love to have a surgery buddy...so we can talk about stuff....write me when you can....cecelia
