Ready to go for Sept. 17th!!!

Hi I am scheduled for the open Gastric bypass with long roux limb on 9/17th. Surgery will be in CMC In Scranton. Can't wait but nervous too.

HELLO ROBIN, I, TOO AM HAVING THE OPEN GASTRIC BYPASS ON THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER. I WILL HAVE THE PROCEDURE IN TULSA, OK. I LIVE ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY IN A TOWN CALLED CUSHING. WE ARE THE "PIPELINE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD". LOTS OF OIL FIELDS AND HUGE ROUND OIL TANK FIELDS. ONLY 3 WEEKS AND 1 DAY AWAY. I AM GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS, BUT KNOW THAT IT WILL BE ALL WORTH IT. DOES YOUR DOCTOR HAVE YOU START ON A HIGH PROTEIN DIET 1 WEEK BEFORE SURGERY? MINE DOES. THEN 2 DAYS BEFORE I WILL BEGIN A CLEAR LIQUID DIET THAT WILL LAST FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. AFTER THAT, I WILL DO THE PUREE DIET FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN ON TO THE REGULAR DIET. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT I HAVE A COMRAD OUT THERE WITH THE SAME DATE, ANXIETIES, AND FAITH. AND SOON MATCHING SCARS!!!! LATER, YOUR FRIEND IN OKLAHOMA. RITA
